Capitol Lake is a 260-acre lake located on the State Capitol Campus in Olympia and Tumwater. It was created in 1951 when a dam was constructed at the mouth of the Deschutes River, blocking the tidal action of Puget Sound, to form a reflecting pool for the Legislative (Capitol) Building.
The Department of General Administration manages the lake as part of the Capitol Campus. The Capitol Lake Adaptive Management Plan (CLAMP) Steering Committee advises General Administration on long-range planning for the lake. The committee meets monthly.
