Lake Spokane DNR boat ramp open; state park ramps, too
BOATING -- The Lake Spokane (Long Lake) Campground boat launch is temporarily open this weekend through Sunday, 6 a.m.-8 p.m., Department of Natural Resources officials announced this afternoon.
The facility is 18 miles northeast of Reardan off U.S. Highway 291.
But for some reason the DNR, in announcing the opening, said the Riverside State Park launches are closed. Not so, said Brian Frahm, park ranger.
Here's what Frahm said in an email to the S-R:
I am one of the Park Rangers at Riverside State Park and am wondering where you got the information that our launches are closed? I would ask that there be a correction print please. We are open for business but however recommend caution when launching. The 291 launch has some swift currents and the Nine Mile Recreation Launch has fluctuating levels.
