Description:
The 1.8 mile Liberty Lake Stateline Trail is situated between Interstate 90 and Appleway Road at Liberty Lake. A moderately flat 10-foot wide paved surface makes walking or riding easy. The 1.6 mile section adjacent to I-90 rests on the former Spokane and Inland Empire rail bed.

The railroad, an electric interurban, built this section of line in the early 1900's to link the towns of Spokane, Washington, and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The line was abandoned in the 1970's and the rail was removed during the 1980's and 1990's.

The eastern trailhead of the Liberty Lake Stateline Trail connects with the Spokane River Centennial Trail at Spokane Bridge Road. The west trailhead is at Appleway and Simpson Road.

The trail was constructed in the summer of 2002. Trees were added along the trail by Spokane County the following year and the Liberty Lake Transportation Benefit District plans to add a kiosk at the eastern trailhead.

It's a short trail ... but better than the alternative.

This trail connects the Spokane Centennial Trail (near the Washington/Idaho border) - and Appleway Road in Liberty Lake Washington.

It is possible to ride along the shoulders of Appleway - all the way from Spokane Bridge Road into Liberty Lake, but the Eastern end of Appleway isn't really bike/trike friendly. It has narrow-to-non-existent shoulders. It's not anywhere near flat. And, is a fairly heavily traveled road (for two lanes.)

This trail bypasses the two-lane portion and connects the Centennial Trail with Appleway near where the road widens into four-lane. The remaining section of Appleway into Liberty Lake is quite bike/trike friendly.

That's my two cents.
