OUR HISTORY
Nestled on the southeastern shore of Loon Lake just north of Spokane, Granite Point has been the waterfront setting for family vacation memories for 100 years. Founded by Joe Biddle in 1921, and developed by Joe Biddle’s son Glenn upon his return from WWII, Granite Point's sandy beaches, pristine swimming areas, fresh lake fishing, and vibrant atmosphere made it the summer destination of choice for families coming from throughout the Pacific Northwest. In the early years, Granite Point provided a dancehall and lakeside swim destination for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Spokane, who would come by train. Families would return season after season to stay in the charming lakeside cottages, to play and splash on the 3/4 miles of sandy beach, to boat and fish for world-class trout, Kokanee, and bass.
Glenn Biddle and his wife Betty expanded the resort, making Granite Point a favorite destination for families and local company picnics, with nearly every weekend hosting a different Spokane business. Over time, new cottages were added, along with additional mooring docks. On weekends and hot summer days, the beaches would fill with day guests and season-pass holders, splashing in the water and enjoying the best of the Pacific Northwest summer season.
