Bitter Lake was formed by the “Vashon Ice Sheet” (50,000 years ago). The lake is presently spring fed. Bitter Lake obtained its name due to the presence of tannic acid and its history as a holding pond for logs by the sawmill which was located on the west shore. In 1930 a “Playland” was developed privately consisting of amusement rides.
