Kayaking Palouse River Basin

I love paddling the Palouse but instead of putting my kayak in gear and powering through the basin, SusieDog and I decided to explore it, and it was beautiful. We stopped, hiked up and explored what appeared to be State Park land, and took in the views before paddling back to our put in.

Drive to Lyon's Ferry Marina, cross bridge to go to state park and after the main State Park entry, turn right to go to the secondary water access point. This helps you avoid having to go around the whole state park burm (important when you have a wiggly 50lb dog on your lap).

Permits needed: Discover Pass (Washington State Parks Pass)
