The Capitol Lake was formed from a daming of the Deschutes river. This water used to be part of an Estuary.
There are efforts to rebuild this natural environment to the way it was before human dating.
Some Marshy wet lands
Evidence of the Estuary that once thrived here.
Invasive species are in capitol lake.
