Input sought for Lake Roosevelt visitor use improvements

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is seeking input on four potential visitor use improvement projects to address concerns related to access to the reservoir during times of low water. As part of the 2010 Shoreline Management Plan, a number of conceptual ideas were presented to address overcrowding and lower reservoir levels during the high visitation summer months. These included: expanding access and parking at key entry points in order to reduce congestion; rehabilitating or moving the Kettle Falls swim beach; and identifying potential access sites to the reservoir within the North District of the Recreation Area during the spring drawdown.

The Park will be hosting an Open House meeting at the Kettle Falls Visitor Information Center between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. on October 4 and at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Davenport between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. on October 9. Public input in the planning process is greatly appreciated.
