- Banks Lake Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
Banks Lake is a man-made impoundment for irrigation water in the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. It is formed by the North Dam near Grand Coulee and the Dry Falls Dam near Coulee City and is filled with water from Franklin D. Roosevelt Reservoir (Lake Roosevelt). Most of the shoreline is ringed with basalt cliffs and talus slopes, and the dry uplands have shallow soils and rocky outcrops with shrubsteppe habitat. The Banks Lake Unit surrounds most of Banks Lake, and is predominantly U.S. Bureau of Reclamation land managed by WDFW.
