Coulee Dam, WA

Area are prohibited effective 12:01 am, Thursday, July 11, 2024, until further notice. No open

flames are permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, all fires in NPS provided fire rings and

boxes, shoreline fires, charcoal fires, tiki torches, incense burners, candles, pellet smokers, and

propane campfires. Only self-contained propane or gas stoves and lanterns are allowed during
