Lake Roosevelt Houseboat Rentals

Back in 1941, the Grand Coulee Dam was built on the Columbia River. This led to the creation of Lake Roosevelt. Today, Lake Roosevelt houseboat rentals allow visitors an easy way to enjoy the miles of shoreline around the lake. Placed within the state of Washington, this lake stretches upwards 150 miles toward Canada. While it may be long, there are few points where the lake is wider than a mile in width. Because of this, it tends to resemble a slow-moving, large river.

Lake Roosevelt boat rentals allow visitors to explore parts of the lake normally unreachable by car. Visitors should always carry a map because it is impossible to see the entirety of the lake because of its winding nature. Instead, you will be greeted with steppe terrain on the southern side of the lake and gorgeous pine forests on the northern side.
