2025 total fire restrictions implemented at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

6/27/25
COULEE DAM, Wash. — Due to extreme fire conditions, all fires at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area are prohibited effective 12:01 a.m., July 3, until further notice. No open flames are permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, all fires in National Park Service (NPS) provided fire rings and barbeque boxes, shoreline fires, charcoal fires, tiki torches, incense burners, candles, pellet smokers, and propane campfires. Only self-contained propane or gas cookstoves and lanterns are allowed during the full fire ban.
Fire restrictions help reduce the chance of human-caused wildfires during prolonged high summer temperatures. Use caution when smoking and dispose of cigarette butts in approved receptacles.
Discharging, or using any kind of fireworks, tracer ammunition or other incendiary devices in any location on federal lands is always prohibited.
For the most current information regarding fire restrictions at Lake Roosevelt, please check www.nps.gov/laro.

NOTICE

Water is back on, leak is fixed in the Martha Boardman Area!
Thank you again for your patience during this!
- Public Works Staff EMERGENT PSA: **Please share**
Main water break down lower lines. We had to shut down the entire system for repairs in that area.
Initially, water may still come out discolored, due to working its way out of pipes. It will eventually stop once it's run its course.
The system is operating now, as it should.
Notify friends, family, community to help get word out, please. Sorry for this inconvenience.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while we worked to fix the issue!
If you have any questions, please contact the Utilities Program Manager.
