Riverfront near the Washington/Idaho state line
Purchased by Spokane County February 2004


“The Spokane River is an important component of the quality of life that attracts people to Spokane.” --Claire Carpenter, Spokane Canoe and Kayak Club


This park protects over a half mile of sensitive riparian habitat and provides recreational access to world class whitewater kayaking and rafting on the Spokane River.

One of the last few large undeveloped riverfront tracts between Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, this 30-acre park property provides a scenic view for those entering Washington on I-90 or on the Centennial Trail. The new park will eventually include a non-motorized boat launch, other recreational facilities, and an undeveloped natural area. It will also allow the Centennial Trail to be moved to a safer, more scenic route near the Spokane River, eliminating a dangerous road crossing.

Spokane County purchased this land with Conservation Futures funds, other county and state funding, and with encouragement from INLT. INLT endorsed the nomination of a portion of this property for Conservation Futures acquisition.
