What a joy to be able to paddle, raft and fish on this river as it flows through our communities.

Huge thanks to the Spokane Conservation District (SCD) for recently taking most of these photos with their drone. Since the Forum founded the water trail in 2010 with partners, we've led development and restoration of 14 access points. SCD's been a key partner from the beginning.

"Little wonder," said Forum Executive Director Andy Dunau, "that now thousands are getting out and enjoying the river every year. To learn more about launches, safety and river flows and resources, visit www.spokanewatertrail.org.
