This stretch of the Columbia River in Lincoln County is your answer to hot summer days. Paddle a kayak from Fort Spokane to Hawk Creek, where basalt cliffs rise over secluded coves perfect for a midday swim.

Cast for walleye or smallmouth bass near Seven Bays, or launch your boat from Two Rivers Resort and find your own quiet spot to cast a line, take a dip or listen to the water lapping at your hull. Camping at Porcupine Bay will extend your time exploring the waters of this massive eastern Washington lake.
