Since the turn of the century, people have been discovering the joys of the Cushman area. They came by steamship, stage and lake boat to the famous old Antlers Hotel on the original lake. In 1925, Tacoma City Light built the first dam on the North Fork of the Skokomish to form the present 10 mile long lake with over 23 miles of shoreline. A new resort, camping, fishing, hiking and hunting were the major activities during the second quarter century. In 1930, another dam was built to form the 2 1/2 mile long Lake Kokanee. |

In 1966, greater public enjoyment of Lake Cushman was made possible when the City of Tacoma reached an agreement with the Lake Cushman Company to develop a unique buy-lease program for surplus lands around the lake. This was a unique combination of public access, private use and environmental protection. |
