The Spokane Valley Saltese Conservation area is a natural treasure. Nestled within the Saltese Flats, this conservation area encompasses over 500 acres of wetlands and diverse wildlife. It is a testament to the efforts of Spokane County and individuals like Vera Water and Power customer Bud Morrison, who support preserving our local environment.

Through the restoration efforts, the wetlands in the Saltese Flats are being revitalized. This restoration not only enhances the beauty of the area but also provides benefits such as creating a diverse wildlife habitat and recharging the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer which is our sole source of drinking water.

Visitors to the Saltese Conservation area can enjoy the landscape and explore the trails that wind through the property. These trails offer opportunities to see wildlife and take in the views of nearby attractions such as Liberty Lake, Mount Spokane, and Saltese Flats.

This natural oasis enriches our community and shows the beauty of the Spokane Valley. Whether you are seeking solace in nature, eager to explore the trails, or simply want to appreciate the wildlife, this conservation area is a must-visit destination.
