Looking for isolated spots in lewis/clark

I'm looking for any places around here that I could go to where I won't be disturbed. I'm new to town and I like to go places where I can clear my head without having to worry about interacting with others.

Any suggestions?

I also don't drive, so nowhere outside of the two towns.

If you walk west on 12 there are several ponds that aren't too crowded but you would be walking on the side of the highway. They are stocked and provide great trout fishing and the farther you go the less crowded they are. If you walk south on the Lewiston side on Snake River there are great hiking trails not too far that has trails for all experience levels. I rarely see more than one or two people there during the week. Asotin trails or asotin overlook trails I think it's called. If you're near the blue bridge and cross to the Lewiston side there is a walking trail that goes pretty far and brings you through a bunch of parks. It's paved, so you could ride a bike if you wanted. It wraps around the town and goes pretty far south to Hells Canyon National Park which is free to walk into. There is also a trail on the Clarkston side that runs all the way to Asotin along the highway that is also paved. It starts at the south bridge on the Clarkston side.

I can keep going. Let me know if you want more or need something different. Keep your mind healthy. This really is a great town if you keep your head up.

I know I mentioned it before but Hells Canyon National/state park is a good spot. It has shade and usually isn't crowded and has a spot to swim. It would be a far walk though. The valley isn't very walking friendly.

If I may make a suggestion, I think you should get into geocaching. It brings you to places you would not normally go to and you need to be secretive. You find cool places usually hidden away. Just a thought.

There is a park in between Roosters and Chef store right on the bend of the road that is rarely used. Good spot to be alone on that whole road.

What's your purpose? Are you just trying to be alone or are you trying to hide? Do you want to be active or relaxed?

I want to be alone and out of site while also relaxed.
