Banks Lake is a 27-mile (43 km) long reservoir in central Washington in the United States. Part of the Columbia Basin Project, Banks Lake occupies the northern portion of the Grand Coulee, a formerly dry coulee near the Columbia River, formed by the Missoula Floods during the Pleistocene epoch. Grand Coulee Dam, built by the United States Bureau of Reclamation on the Columbia River created Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake, the reservoir on the river behind the dam. The surface of Lake Roosevelt is several hundred feet above the original Columbia River, making it easier to pump water 280 feet (85 m) up and out of the river's canyon into the adjacent Grand Coulee. Two low earth-fill dams, Dry Falls Dam and North Dam, keep the water in the Grand Coulee, thus creating the reservoir named Banks Lake.

  • Der Banks Lake ist ein 27 mi (43,5 km) langer Stausee im Zentralteil des US-Bundesstaates Washington. Sein Umfang beträgt 135 mi (ca. 220 km). Als Teil des Columbia Basin Project bedeckt der Banks Lake den nördlichen Teil der Grand Coulee, einer ehemals trockenen Flussterrasse (engl. „coulee“) in der Nähe des Columbia River, welche von den Missoula-Fluten während des Pleistozäns hinterlassen wurde. Der Grand Coulee Dam, vom United States Bureau of Reclamation erbaut, schuf am Columbia River den Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake. Die Oberfläche des Lake Roosevelt liegt mehrere hundert Fuß oberhalb des ursprünglichen Columbia River, was es erleichtert, das Wasser über 280 ft (85,3 m) über den Canyon des Flusses hinaus auf die angrenzende Grand Coulee zu pumpen. Zwei niedrige Erddämme, der Dry Falls (de)
