Spring and fall serve as the transitional periods between hot and cold. Winter sees light to heavy snowfall in all districts and can severly impact roads and access to certain parts of the lake. In addition, the northern reaches of the lake are cooler and wetter, while the southern portion is hotter and drier. The weather combined with lake level changes produces a variety of beautiful landscapes year round.

History Grand Coulee Dam was the key to the development of power on the Columbia River — the greatest potential source of hydroelectric energy in the United States. Original plans considered ten dams on the Columbia River between the Canadian border and the mouth of the river.

Grand Coulee Dam forms Lake Roosevelt, extending 151 miles upstream to the Canadian border. It has a 600-mile shoreline and a surface area of 82,000 acres. In 1948, Congress designated Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, which is operated by the National Park Service.

Grand Coulee Dam provides water to irrigate approximately 600,000 acres in the Columbia Basin Project. In addition to its irrigation and power functions, Grand Coulee Dam is a primary factor in controlling the floods on the Columbia River.
