One of Spokane's historic gems, tucked away to the West of Felts Fields, is now available to tour from the comfort of your home. Follow your tour guide on a walk through the historic Upriver hydroelectric facility and at each stop, you can look all around as you learn a little history, hear how things work and meet a few of the Water Department’s skilled staff. It is the next best thing to being there—maybe even better as you can fast forward through the boring parts!
The City and KSPS have collaborated to create a comprehensive set of lessons on a diverse array of water-related subjects. These resources serve to enrich understanding before embarking on a tour, or to further enhance your experience after an in-person or virtual field trip to the Upriver Dam Facility.
Check out our comprehensive printed toolkit designed specifically for teachers to seamlessly incorporate into their educational curriculum, enhancing the immersive experience of the interactive 360° Upriver Dam video tour.
