Find your adventure.

For the outdoor recreational enthusiast, the Grand Coulee Dam Area offers many exciting and refreshing adventures for people of all ages and experience levels! Lake Roosevelt and Banks Lake are two of Washington's most beautiful and vast lakes, with few crowded areas. Fishing, boating, swimming, picnicking, and water sporting can be found on both of these great reservoirs, and houseboating is available on Lake Roosevelt. The coulee walls and unique landscape of this area offer excellent hiking trails and rock climbing. You can learn about the historical buildings that were alive during the dam’s construction era by taking the Historical Walking Tour in the town of Coulee Dam. Don’t forget the 18-hole golf course on the shoreline of Banks Lake. While you’re recreating, you’ll be surrounded by geological wonders. The great floods carved out a coulee, revealing a stunning display of layers of basalt rock.
