Perseid Overnight Canoe Trips
Saturday - Sunday
August 2 - 3, 2008

THIS TRIP IS FULL

As an increasing number of open spaces are converted to urban or suburban areas, the beauty and wonder of the night sky is disappearing. The universe is becoming obscured by the dull electric glow of every street lamp, house light and neon sign that casts its light into the night sky, making places of undisturbed darkness like Lake Roosevelt vital and unique. The annual Perseid meteor shower is coming and here is your chance to view them unencumbered by unnatural light.

Join Park Rangers and volunteers for an overnight canoe trip to watch the Perseid Meteor Showers, one of the best showers of the year.

White Sturgeon of the Columbia River

Did You Know?
Lake Roosevelt's sturgeon are 8 to 20 feet long. They are also at least 70 years old. In 1941, Grand Coulee Dam flooded the fast-moving waters they need to spawn. To help out the population, the state of Washington introduced new fish to the lake in 2006.
