None of the impromptu trails in the park are maintained, and they are not casual undertakings. Rattlesnakes have been spotted on this trail during warm, summer months. Fast running water and steep dropoffs.

The Palouse Falls lies on the Palouse River, about 4 mi upstream of the confluence with the Snake River. The falls are 198 ft in height. The falls consists of an upper falls with a drop of ~20 feet which lies 1,000 feet north-northwest of the main drop, and a lower falls, with a drop of ~180 feet.
