Recreation

In Grant County, the 58-mile long reservoir created by Wanapum and Priest Rapids dams offer a wide range of recreational opportunities. The landscape is arid, open and dramatically scenic, with steep basalt cliffs along portions of the river.  With an average rainfall that rarely exceeds seven inches a year, there are plenty of opportunities for fun in the sun. 

Grant PUD strives to balance the diverse needs associated with generating and delivering electricity with the need for recreational use along the Priest Rapids Project. A wide array of recreational opportunities exist for the public throughout the Priest Rapids Project including: boating, fishing, camping, hiking and other day use activities.
