Kettle Falls Marina

Kettle Falls Marina provides convenient public access to the northern section of Lake Roosevelt (Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake) on the Columbia River, located just south of the town of Kettle Falls near the Washington-Idaho border. The facility features a multi-lane paved boat ramp, docks, parking, and vault toilets, making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. An adjacent private marina (Lake Roosevelt Vacations Inc) offers additional services.

**Practical Information:** A weekly boat launch fee of $10 (seven consecutive days) or annual permit ($60) is required and can be paid online. The associated Kettle Falls Campground across the road offers reservable campsites at $30/night through Recreation.gov (phone: 509-754-7889). The site is located 87 miles north of Spokane via U.S. Highway 395; turn south on Boise Road at Barney's Bridge and travel three miles. Note that winter access may be limited—verify current conditions before visiting. The area offers rich cultural history and proximity to Colville National Forest for extended recreation opportunities.

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.Recreation
The boat launch is directly within the facility, so many recreation activities can take place from the campground, including boating, fishing and water skiing. However, the lake is not very accessible to swimmers since there is a rocky descent from the campground to the water.Facilities
 The facility is conveniently located near the town of Kettle Falls and within 10 minutes of grocery stores and other amenities. The visitor center is also in town. 
This campground has 74 sites and is by reservation only.  
Natural Features
The campground is forested and overlooks Lake Roosevelt. Much of the water originates from glaciers and snow in the cold, high Canadian Rockies, although lake temperatures are pleasant to swim in during summer. The area is abundant with wildlife, including moose, elk, deer and bald eagles. Dozens of species of fish inhabit the lake, such as walleye, bass, rainbow trout, salmon and sturgeon; fishing for sturgeon is now allowed during a limited season.
