The Historic Roosevelt Cemetery was created as a new cemetery that burials from the old Roosevelt and Cline Cemeteries intered where moved to as the Lake was forming during the construction of Roosevelt Dam and for new burials from those that lost their lives during the project.There are very few marked graves only a few monuments and wooden markers,as many where buried using wooden crosses in unmarked graves there are between 50 to 75 visible markers but the number of buried is probably much higher.The cemetery is maintained by the U S Forest Service near Roosevelt Lake.



To access the cemetery from Hwy 188, turn south onto Main St. and turn right into the first drive. This is the lower trailhead parking. The trail to the cemetery gate is paved, but it is not suitable for wheelchairs or scooters due to the steep grade.
