Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge
26010 S. Smith Rd
Cheney, WA  99004
Phone: (509) 235-4723

The Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge protects a portion of the ‘Channeled Scablands’ of ice age flood fame. The refuge has a 5.5 mile auto route through part of it. This makes a comfortable undulating loop for hikers. (Where else can you walk four or five abreast, with leashed dogs and strollers?). You can also drive or bike the auto route, stopping at the many viewpoints along the way. 

Short hikes radiate from the main loop: two are out-and-back; the third is a loop that travels by Pine Lake. 

Depending on the season, you’ll see some assortment of more than 200 types of waterfowl, cavity nester, and raptors cruising over the relatively flat landscape. The mammal list includes elk, deer, moose, badgers, river otters, porcupines, beavers, bobcats, and cougars. 

The visitor center maps make it easy to see the range of hikes available, including accessible boardwalks.
The refuge is open year-round during daylight hours (6 am -9 pm PDT/6 am - 6 pm PST). 
During the months of March through October, a $3.00 fee per car is charged. There is a $3.00 fee per family for bicycles or walking.

Fish Lake Trail 
One of the hidden gems of the Spokane area is an old abandoned Union Pacific rail line that runs from the corner of Sunset Highway and Government way, parallels State Highway 195 and then the Cheney Spokane Road and ends up at Fish Lake near Cheney.
