Post Falls and the Spokane River, Part 1

Yesterday I drove to Post Falls, Idaho to see the floods that have resulted from spring runoff. I could have started with a visit to Riverfront Park in Spokane, but I ***HATE*** driving in that city. Too many one-way streets, too little parking, too many people. Instead, I started at Corbin Park on the western edge of Post Falls near the Idaho/Washington state line.

These photos were taken with an older Sony Cyber-shot 7.2 megapixel digital camera. Click on the images to open the full-size photos.

These are from the point furthest downstream in my photo set, where I saw a pair of Canada Geese casually exploring the edge of the water. It's apparent here that the water level has gone down a bit from its highest point from the past week, but only by a foot or two.

These trees are not species that normally grow with submerged toots.

Lest the calmness at the bank deceive you, that photo of the rapids should be a reminder that there is a very strong current carrying a lot of water downstream. That warning sign applies even in summer, and is a bit of an understatement now.

This sidewalk appears to have led to a picnic area. The slightly-muddy water and reflections make it hard to see, but the sidewalk was barely visible as it continued into the distance underwater.


Stay tuned for [Part 2](https://steemit.com/photography/@jacobtothe/post-falls-and-the-spokane-river-part-2) where I will show pictures from a dam spillway and historic site!
