A Message From The Superintendent

Welcome to Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. This year our operation looks a little different. We thank you for your understanding as we work hard to keep you, our staff, and the resources we protect safe. Park operations continue to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining public access, particularly in outdoor spaces. Remember to stay safe for yourself and loved ones while visiting the park.

• Keep six feet (2 meters) distance between you and other visitors to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
• Please consider wearing a mask as a courtesy to others. Wearing a mask can help prevent transmission of the virus even if you or those around you do not feel sick.
• Thoroughly wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after touching door handles, picnic tables, railings, playground equipment, and other objects.
