About the spokane river
The Spokane River is a 111-mile long river located in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. It has played a significant role in the history of the region, serving as a transportation route for Native American tribes and European settlers. The river originates at Lake Coeur d'Alene and flows westward through Spokane, ultimately joining the Columbia River. The Spokane River is heavily regulated through several hydroelectric dams and reservoirs, including Long Lake, Lake Spokane, and Little Falls Dam. These dams provide hydroelectric power while also regulating water levels for agricultural uses and recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. Despite these uses, the Spokane River has faced environmental challenges such as pollution and habitat degradation in recent years, leading to conservation efforts to restore its health.
