LR National Recreation Area Public Scoping Meeting

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is considering expanding recreational areas at the northern half of the recreation area.

The National Park Service unit will host a public scoping meeting at the Community Colleges of Spokane Colville Campus, 985 North Elm Street, Dec. 20, at 6 p.m.

The focus of meeting is to discuss the expansion of a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and a forest health project near Rickey Point in Stevens County.

Preliminary recreational options include: development of a disc golf course, installation of a traditional or 3-D archery range, expansion of the park’s trail system, and the development of a Kettle River Water Trail for use by non-motorized watercraft.
