The National Park Service (NPS) is in the early stages of developing a Visitor Use Site Management Plan and is seeking public input on some concepts and ideas that are being formulated for Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is proposing to improve recreation facilities and opportunities to better align with public needs and expectations in nine areas: Evans, Marcus Island, Kettle Falls, Gifford, Hunters, Fort Spokane, Keller Ferry, Spring Canyon, and Porcupine Bay. 

Project materials, including an eight-page information sheet and concepts for each of the nine sites are available for review at https://parkplanning.nps.gov (search by park for Lake Roosevelt NRA to view documents).
