History
Originally a beaver pond, the lake and surrounding acreage was residentially developed in the early 1960s by Pyramid Investment Company of Bellevue, Washington. An island at the north end of the lake was formed by bulldozing during the excavation of the lake. A concrete-lined fish ladder for the inflow from Stillwater Creek was built around 1963. An earthen dam was completed in 1964.

“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
