BYO-Boat Full Moon Float August 2026

Join Spokane Riverkeeper August 27th for a flat water full moon paddle! Bring your own boat, either a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, and float with us from the parking lot at the UW Medical School, and float approximately .5 miles downstream and back under the Sturgeon Moon. While we float, our team will be available to share insightful information about the local ecosystem, river history, and our work on the river along the way.
Space is limited for safety purposes, and advance sign-up is required; if the event fills up, a waitlist will be created.
Please leave your pets at home for this event.
