The Banks Lake area is located along the east shore of Banks Lake in the northern corner of Grant County, between Steamboat Rock State Park and Electric City.

With the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam, the Banks Lake equalizing reservoir was formed.

Banks Lake features camping, fishing, flying, boating, hiking, shotgun-only hunting, and ORV riding.

The Washington State Parks system includes more than 125 developed parks and includes about a quarter million acres.
