About this spot
Starting from Spokane, drive Division Street to Francis Avenue, then head west as Francis becomes Nine Mile Road and eventually WA-291. Continue through Tum Tum, then navigate the curvy section hugging the shoreline. When a sharp 90-degree turn pulls away from the water, park nearby. Cross the guardrail and locate a trail leading toward the lake, following it roughly a quarter mile until cliff formations appear. The initial cliff rises 25 feet, with taller options accessible by continuing along the trail. Alternatively, drive just past this area to a sign indicating Long Lake Campground 4.5 miles ahead on the left. Turn right instead to access Turtle Lake, a smaller body of water in the vicinity with modest but worthwhile cliff jumps that are simple to locate due to the lake's compact size.
