About

Spring Canyon Boat Launch is a boat launch in Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area in Washington, about 3 miles from the town of Coulee Dam. The National Park Service manages the recreation area. For warm-weather days on the water, summer is the peak: typical July highs reach about 88°F with lows near 59°F, and August is nearly as warm with only about three wet days. Those are typical averages from a nearby weather station in Coulee Dam. September is a milder alternative, with highs around 77°F. The Bunchgrass Trail starts just 0.3 miles away, making it easy to pair a hike with time on the lake. Climbers can head about 8 miles to Golf Course Wall, Roadside Rock East, or Gibralter Rocks.
