Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake (also called Lake Roosevelt) is the reservoir created in 1941 by the impoundment of the Columbia River by the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state. It is named for Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was President during the construction of the dam. Covering 125 square miles (80,000 acres), it stretches about 150 miles from the Canadian border to Grand Coulee Dam, with over 600 miles of shoreline; it is the largest lake and reservoir in Washington [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_in_Washington] [ [http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/dams/columbia_basin/sec10.htm Lake Roosevelt NRA: The Story of the Columbia Basin Project (Data on the Dam and Project) ] ] , and home of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area.
