Lake Tapps is a reservoir in Pierce County, Washington, created in 1911 by Puget Sound Energy. The lake is considered a census-designated place, however most of the area surrounding the reservoir is unincorporated. The remaining area around the lake is part of the city of Bonney Lake. The cities of Auburn, Bonney Lake, Sumner, and Buckley surround Lake Tapps. The lake is owned by Cascade Water Alliance, a municipal corporation owned by the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, and Tukwila, and the two water districts of Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District, and Skyway Water and Sewer District. Almost 350,000 residents and more than 20,000 businesses are served by the Cascade Water Alliance. Homes in the area of Lake Tapps are generally in the 98391 zip code.
Plans are to use Lake Tapps as a municipal water supply sometime in the future. Homeowners in the area have a guarantee from Cascade to maintain full recreational lake levels throughout the summer. The level of the lake is typically lowered from October to April for flood control purposes, maintenance and repairs, and aquatic plant management. Lake Tapps has approximately 45 miles of shoreline and covers an area of approximately 4.5 square miles. The shoreline is varied with many islands, peninsulas, and inlets. Varieties of fish in the lake include smallmouth bass, perch, tiger musky, and carp. Lake Tapps North Park is a recreational area featuring beach access, boat ramp, picnic tables, restrooms, trails, barbecue grills and a seasonal concession stand. Lake Tapps North Park offers spectacular views of Mount Rainier and is a great place for swimming with approximately 10,000 feet of waterfront access.
