The Cedar River Watershed Education Center was built with sustainable design in mind. The five buildings are linked by covered walkways with living roofs, and admission to the interactive, hands-on exhibits, including a set of "water drums," is free.

All told, the remade rail line known as the Palouse to Cascades Trail — also known as the Iron Horse or John Wayne trails — contains more than 100 miles (161 km) of trail from Cedar Falls to the Columbia River, all in a state park that only measures 100 feet (30 m) in width.

This trail's very gentle grades make for pleasant hiking, and surprisingly beautiful views when the trees open up at magnificent trestle bridges. The trail is very popular with cyclists as well.

Rattlesnake Ledge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trail to Rattlesnake Ledge is popular, but with good reason: The views from the first ledge are incredible. If you're feeling inspired, there are two more ledges — Middle Rattlesnake Ledge and Upper Rattlesnake Ledge — which offer even better views without the crowd.
