    Road cycling

    Lake Steilacoom spans 320 acres and is very shallow, with its deepest point at less than 25 feet. It was initially formed in 1853 when a sawmill owner named Andrew Byrd needed a water reserve, so he built a dam over Chambers Creek to supply it with water. There is a mysterious legend that the lake is haunted by a female monster known as Whe-atchee, so much so that the local Nisqually tribe refuses to swim or fish in the lake.
