Following the enactment of the continuing resolution, staff at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area has resumed regular winter operations. Staff will be out inspecting facilities and making necessary repairs throughout the park. With reduced winter staffing, this will take time. Please visit www.nps.gov/laro for updated information about the park.

Lake Roosevelt’s employees thank you for your patience and are happy to be back at work, serving the American people and welcoming visitors to their national parks.

While Lincoln County Public Works continues to work on rebuilding the road, Porcupine Bay Campground and Boat Launch remains closed at this time. For more information on their progress, please visit https://www.co.lincoln.wa.us/public-works/porcupine-bay-road-landslide/.
