Klemgard Park

Located south of Colfax and north of Pullman, Klemgard County Park is a great little park to enjoy a picnic lunch and stretch one's legs when in the vicinity. The main park area has wonderful shade trees, picnic tables, a picnic shelter and a playground.

Cross the footbridge over Union Flat Creek and follow the short paved trail to get to the access point for the 0.75-mile loop hiking trail. The trail is a bit narrow in spots with encroaching vegetation and can be steep in some areas. For that reason, it should be considered moderate difficulty although it is very short. There are many trees and shrubs along the trail, but the views from the high point include glimpses of the surrounding farmland as well.

In the spring and summer, the trail has many wildflowers and flowering shrubs. It's also a great hike for fall colors. In the winter, it would probably be a good idea to have traction devices for icy/slippery areas, especially on the steeper portions of the trail. 

The main park is partially wheelchair accessible and has ADA parking spaces, plus ADA-accessible outhouses. The hiking trail is not ADA-accessible.
