Beginning below Little Falls Dam, this is a broad, lake-like section of the river that sees heavy motorized boat traffic. At Porcupine Bay paddlers can put-in and tour up or downstream. The next access point is Fort Spokane, which is 9.4 miles downstream. Paddlers should stay near the banks to avoid boat traffic as well as occasionally strong winds. Pit toilets are available at boat-in only camp areas. The entire river right shoreline of this reach is part of the Spokane Tribe of Indians Reservation.
