If you’ve ever strolled through Riverfront Park, you’ve likely heard it before you saw it — the thunder of Spokane Falls. This stunning natural wonder isn’t just a pretty backdrop for selfies and sunset strolls. It’s actually the largest urban waterfall in the United States. Yep, right here in the heart of Spokane, Washington.
For centuries, the falls have been the centerpiece of the city. Long before downtown was built, the area was an important gathering place for the Spokane Tribe, who relied on the falls for fishing and community. Later, the powerful flow of the Spokane River helped fuel the city’s early industry.
Today, the falls are all about beauty and connection. Whether you’re riding the SkyRide gondola, walking across one of the footbridges, or just enjoying the view from the park, it’s hard not to be wowed. And if you visit in spring, when the river is at its peak, the rush of water is nothing short of breathtaking.
Local tip: The best time to see the falls roaring at full strength is late spring after the snowmelt. For a quieter, more romantic vibe, visit in the evening when the city lights frame the falls just right.
