Other Details:
Lake Tapps is a reservoir in Pierce County, Washington. Lake Tapps is about 4.5 square miles (12 km) in surface area and has about 45 miles (72 km) of shoreline. Please note that reservoir water level is lowered from late October through late April each year (approximately 5-10 feet), and motor boat access is unavailable during these months.

The Sunset Lake Retreat backs to gorgeous Lake Tapps, and it is a great place to swim, float, and enjoy water activities. A short distance from the end of our dock there are submerged stumps just below the surface. Diving and jumping into the lake should not be done to avoid injury. We discourage the use of motor boats/jet skis in this area if you are not familiar with this particular section of the lake. Small non-motorized vessels are more suitable in this part of the lake. Please see video links provided in the guestbook at to learn more.

All Guests in your party acknowledge and agree that they have seen this page and read and understand this waiver. They acknowledge that booking constitutes a binding and enforceable contract between the Guests and the Host.
