Before you go

Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check City of Spokane (Riverfront Park) / Avista for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spokane Falls drops about 130 feet. That makes it the 141st-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 79% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.

Access is documented as roadside. No trail distance is on record for Spokane Falls. The nearest town is Spokane. Confirm access and land status with City of Spokane (Riverfront Park) / Avista before setting out — some documented falls have no public route at all.

Spring (May-June peak snowmelt). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
