Greetings from Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

Crescent Bay on Lake Roosevelt can be quiet and calm for a relaxing walk and also filled with picnicking families cooling off in the refreshing waters on a hot day. Anglers also come early to catch the fish. Across the way is a boat launch for those more adventurous. We truly appreciate the opportunity for getting out in nature at any time of the year here. Come spend a day. Pack it in. Pack it out.

Sincerely,
Sheri
