The Kettle Falls area is rich in the history of American Indians as well as the fur trade; campers can learn more at a park visitor center less than 10 miles away. <br/><br/> Lake Roosevelt is a 130-mile lake on the Columbia River created by the Grand Coulee Dam. Named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it is part of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and managed by the National Park Service.<h2>Recreation</h2> The boat launch is directly within the facility, so many recreation activities can take place from the campground, including boating, fishing and water skiing.
