"From Lake Coeur d Alene to its confluence with the Columbia, the Spokane River travels 111 miles of varied and often spectacular terrain rural, urban, in places wild. The river has been a trading and gathering place for Native peoples for thousands of years. With bountiful trout, accessible swimming holes, and challenging rapids it is a recreational mecca for residents and tourists alike. The Spokane also bears the legacy of industrial growth and remains caught amid interests competing over natural resources."--Google books viewed Jan. 14, 2021
