The increase in sedimentation as well as the residential development along the shoreline have combined to raise the level of the lake some 2–4 feet (0.6–1.2 m) above its average 1860 level. The weir at the head of the Sammamish River contributes to the increase in lake levels, as does the sediment load and vegetation now clogging the Sammamish River at

This build-up, coupled with the significant increase in runoff caused by the reduction in the upland forest, coupled with the general increase in the level of the lake has created wet areas where relatively dry, old-growth conifer forests once stood. 3117: 303:
have caused injuries and property damage. On July 17, 2010, a shooting occurred at about 9:00 p.m., when the park was packed with visitors enjoying the summer weather. Police responded and locked the park down, while firefighters and paramedics arrived to treat the wounded. Two men died at the scene, and four other men were hospitalized.

Because Lake Washington was 11 feet (3.4 m) higher in the 1860s than it is today, and Lake Sammamish was 2–4 feet (0.6–1.2 m) lower than it is today, it was possible to slowly drive a steamer up the winding course of the Sammamish River from Lake Washington to Lake Sammamish. The northeast

Over the years, however, the park has been the scene of various incidents, some of which have been fatal. Swimmers have been known to drown in the cold water - approximately 50 to 55 Â°F (10 to 13 Â°C) in the winter, and 70 to 75 Â°F (21 to 24 Â°C) in the summer. Boating accidents

Little or no deliberate reforestation took place so the forests grew back as a mixture of deciduous trees with far fewer native, coniferous forest species remaining. When the big trees were removed, they were quickly replaced by short-lived

The area known today as the Park and the City of Issaquah experienced rapid development during the latter part of the 1800s. The old-growth forest, including massive cedars and firs from the area of the park, was cut and floated down to
