Lake Kapowsin Electron Mudflow.[4] The mudflow partially filled the channel (leading to its shallow, smooth bottom today) and blocked Ohop Creek's outlet, forming present-day Lake Kapowsin.[1]: A69–A70
The Tacoma Rail shortline runs along the west side of the lake, as does Orville Road connecting Eatonville to the south with the town of Kapowsin.
The lake contains a number of fish species and is stocked with
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, as is the yellow perch.[5]
