Description
The Latah Trail travels for 12 miles between Moscow and Troy on a 10-foot-wide paved path, paralleling State Route 8 until Howell Road, where it winds north through a forested to Troy's City Park. The trail occupies the former right-of-way of the historic Moscow to Arrow railroad.
From Troy, the trail carries on another 4 miles on a gravel bed through Bear Creek Canyon. Note, as of autumn 2011 you cannot take the rail bed corridor all the way to Kendrick since part of the route is private property. Follow the signs through Bear Creek Canyon, which will clearly designate the portions that are owned by the Latah Trail Foundation (public access) and those that are private property. Please respect private property rights and obey all no-trespassing signs.
Parking and Trail Access
In Moscow, parking is available just outside the campus where Sweet Avenue intersects with Main Street/I-95. You can also park off Styner Avenue near Indian Hills Drive. Near Cornwall there's a small parking area on the southside of State Route 8. In Troy you can park at the City Park off Route 8.
