Odessa, Washington is a small community in Eastern Washington surrounded by the channeled scablands. Channeled Scablands are a unique feature to Eastern Washington; they were caused by the Missoula Floods about 14,000 years ago. Odessa is lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful geological features.

Privately owned Odessa Golf Course is rated in the top 10 for the State of Washington with a beautiful nine-hole, par 36, course. Free RV hookups are available for all golfers coming to Odessa who play golf.

The best part about the Odessa course is there are no tee times except during Deutschesfest. Anyone having the stamina can try the Golf the Loop Tour. Start from Spokane, do 9 holes at Harrington, travel on to Odessa for lunch and another nine before finishing out the day at Wilbur.

The Odessa Historisches Museum tells the story of the settlement and development of the towns and surrounding countryside by hardy pioneers.

Crab Creek is open to fishing for all species of fish from the confluence of the outlet streams to the Moses Lake outlets and from the fountain buoy and shoreline markers or 150 feet downstream of the Alder Street fill to Grant County Road 7 from March 1 to May 31.

It has also recently become a popular destination for fly-fishers. Since access is primarily from private property, however, anglers are advised to obtain permission ahead of time.

Crappie, largemouth and smallmouth bass, channel catfish, perch, bluegill and rainbow trout are also available, but populations are limited. There are special area closures on the lake, so visitors need to check the regulations pamphlet for details. WDFW provides public access with boat ramp and toilet on the southwest end of the lake, and a private boat launch with minimal parking fees is located on the southeast side, both off of Danekas Road. The lake’s two resorts are located at the northeast end and on the north shoreline near the west end.

Twin Lakes consist of Upper Twin (39.2 acres) and Lower Twin (44.9 acres), located in the Lake Creek drainage area about 20 miles southeast of Davenport. The season is open year round. Access is provided by BLM. Upper Twin is stocked with fry and catchable-size rainbow trout and also provides good fishing for largemouth bass, with pumpkinseed sunfish, yellow perch, black crappie and brown bullhead catfish available, according to the WDFW. Lower Twin is considered an excellent perch fishery in the early spring months, before water levels drop. The lower lake also has the same fish species listed for Upper Twin, but the bass and crappie tend to be smaller in Lower Twin.
