Marina enhancements help improve recreational experience

Enhancements at Kettle Falls and Keller Ferry marinas are making Lake Roosevelt recreational opportunities that much easier and better.

At Kettle Falls Marina, an expanded parking area will accommodate an additional 50 boat trailer rigs. And either this fall or next spring, a mast staging area for sailboats will be added. Said Jim Brown, the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area Facility Manager, “These projects will help relieve congestion. In addition, we’re adding some additional vault toilets.”

Downstream at Keller Ferry Marina, improvements are also being made. The park service is replacing the long term moorage docks. In addition Dakota Columbia, which runs the concession, has remodeled the store.

“Basically,” said Brown, “it’s about finding ways to improve the user experience. We feel like working with partners is a great way to maximize what we all can contribute.”
