Reviews
"Good spot to launch a boat. Somewhat close to Lake CDA, wind is almost never a problem when at or close to the dock, usually enough parking, and 'close' to where we live in Spokane Valley."
"It was a nice little place. The walk on the boardwalk is not long at all, so the $6 fee seemed a bit much, unless you have a picnic and spend more time there. But it is a really pretty place and got some great pictures. The picnic table area looked clean and nice, they also had a covered picnic table area for get togethers. Didn't try the toilets. There's also a map of other areas around town where you can go hiking, etc."
"Parking is spendy, 6.50 for a little over an hour in a mostly empty lot. Otherwise it's a nice spot to launch boats or kayaks for access to the Spokane River or Lake Coeur d'Alene."
"Possibly the best public boat launch in KC. Lots of trailer parking, good spaces for prep and washing down after a day on the lake. Well worth the $6 daily fee."
"Great place to put in your watercraft, plenty of trailer parking, lots of room to prep the boat, and put it all together when you come back. Trash can right there, and a ramp. Small picnic area also. But the bathrooms really need cleaned a little more often."
