PADDLE LINKS
"Paddle Routes of the Inland Northwest" by Rich Landers & Dan Hansen is a great guidebook detailing 50 flatwater and whitewater trips for canoes and kayaks.
Canoe or kayak down the Little Spokane River. The Spokane Parks and Recreation Department offers trips like this and they provide the guides, kayaks, floatation vests and transportation for a very reasonable price.
 If you have your own canoe or kayak "put in"
at Indian Painted Rocks and enjoy otters, beavers, birds. deer and an occasional moose. This is part of Riverside State Park Little Spokane Natural Area.
Canoes and Kayaks can also be rented at REIor Mountain Gear.
Little Pend Oreille Chain Lakes is another
popular spot in the Selkirk Mountains.
This is another great Spokane Parks and Recreation kayak trip location. Kootenai River in the Fall is gentle and wide. It is close to the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge and a short distance from Bonner's Ferry, Idaho.
