Spokane River

     Those paddlers willing to cross the dry expanses of Eastern Washington on I-90 looking for somewhere to surf should be richly rewarded by The Spokane River especially during the peak of Spring Run-off. The Spokane River has numerous play spots that work at a wide range of water levels from flood to low-late summer flows. Most of the play spots on The Spokane are located in close proximity to The Washington/Idaho State Line, just East of City Center of Spokane, Washington. Some of the play spots are in barely into Idaho, some are in Washington but all of them are easily accessible from Interstate 90 which parallels the river fairly closely.
