 Waitts Lake - Located just west of
Valley. Waitts Lake covers 455 acres.
Popular for Rainbows, Browns, Perch
and Largemouth Bass. Two resorts are
located on the lake.
 Golfing
 The course itself is an amalgam of several
designs and elements. The picturesque
layout, which measures 6,743 yards from
the tips, has utilized many of the design
concepts of golf course architect Carl
Thuesen of Montana. Established as an 18hole course on July 20th, 2002, the new
back nine is reminiscent of a British Isles
links-land golfing experience…plotted in an
expansive valley and framed by picturesque
mountains.
 Existing ponds on the new nine dot the
landscape. There are more than a few forced
carries over existing wetlands and those
lurking ponds. Wildlife abounds; and photo
opportunities on the links or from the hiking
trails should be capitalized upon…not to
forget those frequent birdies, bogies and the
rare eagles to be found on the course itself.
Additionally, there is a 3.1 miles nature trail
accessible from south of Colville High
School for those who like to run, jog, walk,
or just stroll and take in the panorama.
 Hunting
 Hunt for all the popular game such as:
whitetail deer, bear, elk, pheasant,
grouse, and wild turkey, not to mention
plentiful waterfowl, ducks, and geese. If
you are hunting with your camera, the
opportunities are even more extensive.
 Hunting is available on the Colville
National Forest and the Little Pend Oreille
National Wildlife Refuge.
 Colville City Parks
 Colville could be nicknamed the "city of
parks" with the largest and most pristine at
the 18 acre tree encased "Yep-Kanum" park.
This park includes a municipal swimming
pool, eating areas and picnic tables, play
equipment and various shelters. Other parks
include: Dean Vaagen Park, Angus
McDonald Park, Rotary Park, Keller Heritage
Center Park, City Hall Park and Heritage
Court. The Jeff Weeman Memorial and
Spenser Memorial has donated the Jeff
Weeman basketball courts, skateboard park,
.
 Backpacking
 There are many outdoor
opportunities for those who like
to hike and backpack. Trails
range from easy to hard, but all
can take you on hikes where
you'll enjoy an environment of
unobstructed natural beauty.
 Camping
 This area has many large and small campgrounds.
One challenge is finding the many out-of-the-way
camping spots. The U.S. Forest Service and the
Department of Natural Resources have out done
themselves in providing these camping
opportunities. The National Park Service operates
Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area for the
million plus visitors who visit each year. There are
22 boat launches and 19 campgrounds along the
151 miles of lake. Free children's programs,
campfire programs, canoe trips and boat
inspections are offered every summer.
 Boating & Water Skiing
 Every lake is accessible by private or public boat
launch facilities. Thirteen miles from Colville, you can
take big boats and houseboats on Lake Roosevelt,
151 miles of lake water behind Grand Coulee Dam.
Smaller boats, canoes and rubber rafts find their own
challenges in the Kettle River or maybe in more laid
back setting on one of the many lakes. There are a
number of fine picnic and camping areas at the resorts
and public campgrounds on the banks of many area
lakes. Stevens County has 306 lakes, 315 ponds, 125
marshes and swampy areas and 175 creeks. See
lodging for info on the houseboats and camping along
the lakes.
A dry, sunny climate predominates
at Lake Roosevelt in the summer
months. As you go father north, it
becomes cooler and wetter. In the
summer temperatures range from
75° to 100°F during the day, and
from 50° to 60° at night. Spring
and fall are cooler but still pleasant.
The weather can be dramatically
different from one end of the lake to
the other.
