I Love the Spokane River
Raft and Paddle Expedition

Please Join Us!

What: An opportunity to experience the Spokane River as never done before.

Join us for all or part of this 120 mile journey. Expedition members will experience first hand the interplay between environmental, economic development, recreational and cultural values supported by the Spokane River. You will pass through rural, suburban, and urban settings; pastoral, forested, agricultural and industrial landscapes; free flowing waters and reservoirs; diverse geology, vegetation, habitats and fisheries; and a rich cultural history.

Why: You will gain a greater understanding of the river’s beauty and grace in our lives, challenges facing the river, and opportunities for restoration.

Your stories and perspectives will be shared via the web, media, and river gatherings. They will be heard by the thousands of people who play in the river; walk, bike and run by it; or view the river from roads, bridges and overlooks. Collectively, expedition participants can help kindle a dialog about the river’s future.

When and Where: From Lake Coeur d’Alene to the Upper Columbia River.

All or part of June 13th - 15th and 20th - 23rd. Click here to view map and itinerary
