Lake Sawyer is a freshwater lake in Black Diamond, Washington. Only three other natural lakes in King County have a larger surface area.[3]
Lake Sawyer is underlain by glacial outwash and till dating from the Vashon Glaciation, as well as older glaciations that occurred during the Pleistocene.[4] The bedrock underlying this mass of sediments is classified as the Hammer Bluff Formation, which was deposited during the Miocene epoch and consists of sedimentary rocks with some volcanic deposits.[5][6] Discharge from the lake via groundwater outflow is thought to occur mostly in the northeast and southwest corners.[7] Lake Sawyer is classified as mesotrophic, with algal growth limited by phosphorus availability.[8] A 1994 survey found 23 species of plants growing in the lake and along its shorelines, including the invasive Myriophyllum spicatum and Nymphaea odorata.[9]
A concrete dam was built at the outlet in 1952 to regulate the lake level.[10] Several species of fish, some of which are stocked, can be caught in the lake.[11]
