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. Location Lake Roosevelt, also known as Lake Franklin D. Roosevelt, is located in the state of Washington in the United States. It is a large reservoir that was created by the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. The lake stretches from the Canada-U.S. border to just above the town of Coulee City. It offers ample opportunities for visitors to explore its serene waters, including hiking, fishing, boating, and more.
