Lake Roosevelt
Lake Roosevelt, WA is located on the Columbia River above Grand Coulee Dam, and a National Recreation Area surrounds the lake. The recreation area includes mainly the lake and its sandy beaches as it extends upland to the "1310 line", a boundary located roughly 20 feet above the lake's high water mark. Many prime spots are accessible only by boat.
The lake is set in a sunny location surrounded by extraordinary landscapes including a deep basalt canyon forming the northern rim of the Columbia plateau, rock outcrops, shrub-steppe, grassland and ponderosa pine terraces and mixed-forest mountains of the Kettle River Range. The geology of the area is unique, having been covered during ice age times by an even larger lake -- glacial lake Columbia -- and further swept by enormous, powerful floods that carved huge coulees and scablands across Eastern Washington.
