Crescent Bay

Crescent Bay Boat Ramp provides convenient water access to Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake (Lake Roosevelt) in the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area near Grand Coulee. Located between the town of Grand Coulee and Grand Coulee Dam, this launch serves as a gateway to over 60,000 acres of water and 500 miles of scenic shoreline. The site is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats seeking access to this expansive reservoir formed by the Columbia River.

Paddlers and boaters should note that Lake Roosevelt is a large impoundment with variable conditions depending on weather and dam operations. Before launching, check current lake levels at the site, as water levels can fluctuate seasonally. The area supports fishing and recreational boating throughout the year. Remember to inspect your vessel for aquatic invasive species before launching, as required at all Washington boat ramps. Amenities at the launch include vault/composting facilities. For specific information on current conditions, hours, fees, and any launch permits required, contact the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area directly or check the interactive boat launch map for real-time conditions and wind forecasts.
