The Spokane River offers plenty of water sports and recreation activities, but one favorite is river rafting. The water's intensity varies with the time of year, as during the cooler months the conditions are more amenable for whitewater rafting and in the summer, when the river's volume is low, you can choose to float which is less intense but still quite enjoyable.
