PUBLIC LANDS — Tips on exploring Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area’s camping, paddling, fishing, climbing, swimming as well as the history, ecology and other activities will be presented tonight, 7 p.m., at the Spokane REI store.

The program is one in a series of Find Your Park programs.

Lake Roosevelt, which backs up nearly 150 miles from Grand Coulee Dam upstream past Kettle Falls, is managed by the National Park Service. The reservoir is graced with 22 boat launches, 27 campgrounds, 10 swim beaches plus hiking trails and boat-in camping areas.
