Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area invites you to come and enjoy the great outdoors. With reduced staffing and resources during the winter season, the facilities open and available for your use are limited.

All dumpsters and trash cans have been removed from our campgrounds, boat launches, and day-use areas. Please make sure to take your trash home to dispose of it. Do not leave it there or dispose of it in fire rings. Under 36 CFR 2.14 (a) (1) visitors are prohibited from leaving refuse in places other than refuse receptacles as it is considered littering and may result in a fine of up to $200. Dumpsters will be redistributed by May 1st, weather and road conditions permitting.

Our snow removal and sanding procedures begin November 1 and extend to March 31 beginning when we have accumulated 2 or more inches of snow.

The following locations are plowed on an as needed basis:

Kettle Falls boat launch
Gifford boat launch
Fort Spokane boat launch and first campground loop road only
Keller Ferry boat launch
Spring Canyon boat launch and lower campground loop road only

Additional locations may be plowed as weather and safety conditions allow. Individual campsites in the plowed loops are not plowed but are available for winter camping at $9 per night.

All other Lake Roosevelt NRA park areas are open to the visiting public to enjoy walking, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing opportunities as conditions permit.
