Why is my lake filling in with vegetation/sediment?
  • Lakes go through natural processes and lakes in Pierce County are in different phases. Humans and climate change can accelerate this process. Lakes can transition from marsh to swamp to bog and go from deep to shallow lakes over long periods of time. Lakes can also be dominated by plants or algae.
