Newman Lake in Spokane County is an extremely popular year-round recreational site for fishing, boating, swimming and wildlife watching. Newman Lake has one of the better warmwater fisheries in the Spokane area and also enjoys a good trout fishery. The WDFW access site is particularly busy all spring, summer and well into the fall, both on weekends and during the week but has no shoreline access for disabled anglers and very little shoreline access for able-bodied anglers. One of the best uses of public funds to increase angling access is constructing fishing docks. It provides key access to anglers that do not have boats. They are currently forced to fish from the shore next to and on top of the existing boat ramps. This often causes conflicts between user groups. ADA fishing docks provide much-needed easy access to prime fishing for many individuals and families, both able-bodied and disabled. They are also a very visible example of state money going directly to improve access for the taxpayers that provide the funding. This project will also include an accessible viewing platform to observe anglers, recreators, birds, other wildlife and scenery.
