POST FALLS — The Q’emiln Park boat launch ramp on the Spokane River in Post Falls will close for the season Nov. 13.
The ramp, located upstream of Avista’s Post Falls Hydroelectric Development, is typically closed each year in mid-November because of weather conditions and dropping water levels, Avista said in a news release Tuesday.
The boat launch must remain closed for safety reasons for much of the fall through spring. The ramp generally re-opens in late spring or early summer, depending on the amount of inflow into Lake Coeur d’Alene.
Avista encourages community members to remember water levels and conditions around the dam are subject to change at any time. River users should exercise caution whenever using the waterways.
Access waterflow information at myavista.com/waterflow. Info is also available on Avista’s 24-hour telephone information line, where recorded information is provided to advise shoreline property owners, commercial and recreational users of changes in lake levels and river flows that may affect plans for water use on Lake Spokane, the Spokane River and Lake Coeur d’Alene.
