Adults and children of all ages and skill levels are invited to attend Sekani Adventure Day. Stand-up paddling, canoeing, archery, geocaching and approximately six other activities will be available at stations staffed with experienced instructors who will adjust small-group instruction to participant skill level. Participants are encouraged to bring their own mountain bicycle and helmet; all other gear will be provided by local organizations and vendors.

"This is one of the best events in the area,” said Lunell Haught, President of the Inland Northwest Trails Coalition, in a City of Spokane press release. “You get to try out all kinds of things without buying anything, you can use it right there, it's a gorgeous site with something for everyone.”

Sekani Adventure Day is organized by the Inland Northwest Trails Coalition and City of Spokane Parks and Recreation in partnership with OutThere Monthly magazine.
