In fact, the county is the number two top producing wheat county in the state and number three in the nation.

Cattle are also a large part of the agricultural community.

Outdoor activities are the norm in Lincoln County with so much public land to enjoy. In addition, watersports and water related activities are also a big part of the lifestyle here. Thanks in large part to Lake Roosevelt and the more than one million visitors I draws each year from all corners of the globe.  Lake Roosevelt Recreational Area was formed in 1941, when the Grand Coulee Dam was built on the Columbia River. The dam created a 130-mile long lake with more than 300 miles of shoreline. The lake was named in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The recreational area around the lake provides numerous opportunities for aquatic adventures. Residents can enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, camping, canoeing, hunting, and visiting historic places such as Fort Spokane and St. Paul’s Mission.

A variety of services for residents and visitors alike are available in the county, including restaurants, churches, city park, RV facilities, a hospital and clinic, public library, grocery stores, and much more.
