Truly a recreation heaven, there's even more to see and do in Colville, Washington. Do you enjoy the water? With over half a dozen lakes to choose from - not to mention the Colville, Kettle and Columbia Rivers - your cup literally runneth over.
A popular site for all kinds of water activities is the 151-mile-long Lake Roosevelt. One of Northeast Washington's largest, there are more than 30 recreational areas distributed along its 660 miles' worth of lakeshore. Swimming, canoeing, kayaking, motor boating, windsurfing, sailing, waterskiing - you name it, they have it. You can even rent a seasonal houseboat at the Kettle Falls marina.
Though you won't find them anywhere near these more boisterous crowds, fishing enthusiasts also throng the lake. The attraction? The probably more than two dozen species of freshwater fish in the waters of Lake Roosevelt. Other lakes in the area where you can camp out and fish include Deep Lake, Ione, Loon Lake and the intriguingly named Jump Off Joe Lake. Most of these lakes have boat launching and rental facilities as well.
