Paddling near Kettle Falls, WA

Kettle Falls sits in Stevens County in northeastern Washington, on the edge of Lake Roosevelt — the reservoir formed by Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. The area draws paddlers to Lake Roosevelt's broad flatwater, with a dedicated canoe and kayak launch, full boat ramp, and adjacent marina at the Kettle Falls Boat Launch. The Kettle River and Deadman Creek, both within the Colville National Forest's Three Rivers Ranger District, round out the local paddling picture.
