State Route 206 (SR 206, named the Mount Spokane Park Drive) is a 15.30-mile-long (24.62 km) state highway serving Mount Spokane State Park in the U.S. state of Washington. Beginning at U.S. Route 2 (US 2) north of Mead, the highway travels east through unincorporated Spokane County and northeast into the Selkirk Mountains, ending at the entrance to Mount Spokane State Park. The roadway, first constructed in the 1890s and reconstructed several times, was designated as SR 206 during the 1964 highway renumbering.

Spokane High School before a roundabout with Bruce Road. SR 206 turns northeast, parallel to Deadman Creek, towards Green Bluff and the Selkirk Mountains. The highway ends at the entrance of Mount Spokane State Park, and the road continues northeast to serve the Mount Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park.
