Moses Lake, Grant County, Washington

Moses Lake (6,500 acres)
Moses Lake named after Chief Moses, which is the largest body of water in Grant County has 120 miles of shoreline, and includes two main Islands, Crest Island with associate John E Calbom Island Park with trees and lots of vegetation at the junction of Lewis and Parker Arms on the NE side of the lake next to the city of Moses Lake. Gaileys Island that is a treeless desert Island on the south end of the lake. And 4 lesser Islands... In Pelican Arm of the lake is Marsh Island which is connected to Interstate 90 and Goat Islands (3 small Islands depending on water level). Laguna Island (artificially built as part of a housing development) just south of Interstate 90. And Parker Island in the Parker Arm of the Lake below Crest Island made of dirt/sand with some sage brush. Originally this lake was a shallow salty lake known as "Salt Lake." The lake is still shallow in many respects of only 5 to 10 feet deep average, and 38 feet at its deepest. When the Grand Coulee Dam was constructed as part of the Columbia Basin Project to create energy and to convert the basin into a farming oasis, Moses Lake

grew in size because of dams. This lake includes three main arms (Lewis Horn, Parker Horn, and Pelican Horn) with the main body of the lake measuring 18 miles long and one mile wide. The town of Moses Lake was created shortly after the creation of Moses Lake, which is now the largest city in Grant County. To the south of the lake is the Potholes Reservoir that is connected to the lake via two spillways that turn into challenges that bring water to Potholes Reservoir. Also to the south is the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge and Sheep Lake area that were also created by the project, that now include many small and large lakes, and canals. Migratory birds make this area its home, along with many species of natural fauna. On the shores of the lake there are many boat launches and access points. With some effort one can paddle from the northernmost point of the lake, to its southern point, portage into the canals leading to Potholes Res., then go through the reservoir, portage around the O'Sullivan Dam into the Potholes Canal, pass through the chain lakes and end up in Othello, WA. a 50 mile paddle trip. Directions: Moses Lake (the lake not the city) is right off of I90 via exits 174, 176, and 179. Maps: See printable lake map below.
