Newman Lake Fishing Dock

Status
Funded in 2007
WWRP Applicant: Dept of Fish & Wildlife WWRP Category: State Lands Development WWRP Grant: $250,000 Project Type: Development County: Spokane  Legislative District: 4th 

The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to build a fishing dock at Newman Lake, a popular year-round spot for fishing, boating, swimming, and wildlife watching east of Spokane and Liberty Lake. The department's access site has no shoreline access for anglers with disabilities and very little shoreline access for able-bodied anglers. Anglers often fish from the shore next to the boat ramps, causing conflicts between users. Work also will include building an accessible viewing platform.
