Frequently Asked Questions

Can you swim at Riverside State Park?

The Spokane River is cold and fast, so most visitors wade rather than swim; the Bowl and Pitcher area has shallow rocky access.

Seasonal Note

Trail conditions, beach staffing, boat rentals and road access change with the season. Confirm current hours and closures with the managing agency before you travel, especially in winter and early spring.
