4th of July Water Safety

The Spokane River Forum placed life jackets at 10 Spokane River Water Trail access points (Stateline, Harvard Road, Barker Road, Mirabeau Park, Islands Trailhead, Boulder Beach, Division Street Bridge, Redband Park, People’s Park and TJ Meenach). From infant to extra-large, all sizes are available.

Washington State Parks provides the life jackets as part of a program called “Borrow a Life Jacket.” The idea is simple. If you’re about to get on the water but forgot a life jacket, borrow one from the kiosk. The Forum’s only ask (which is written on the jacket) is to please return when done. Wearing a life jacket saves lives.
