A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

Stevens, Thompson & Runyan, Inc. 1967. Vancouver Lake Complex Development Plan. Vancouver, WA: Port of Vancouver, Clark County-Vancouver Regional Planning Commission.

The Vancouver Lake Complex is located in Clark County, Washington west of the City of Vancouver, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, across the Washington-Oregon State border from Portland. The area extends west and north from Vancouver along the Columbia River, is bounded on the north at the center of Campbell Lake, on the east by the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroad, mainline and bridge; and on the south and west by the Columbia River. The "complex" has approximately 3,200 feet at its northern terminus. Vancouver Lake itself, includes approximately 2,600 acres of the total 12,000 acres within the "complex". Just northwest of this lake is an area of approximately 920 acres that is still known as Shillapoo Lake. Shillapoo Lake has been drained and, like much of the rest of the "complex", is no in agricultural use. Vancouver Lake drains to the Columbia River through Lake River which traverses the northeastern portion of the site. Lake River passes the southern edge of the Town of Ridgefield and merges with the Columbia River just south of the Lewis River approximately 6 miles north of the "complex".

This plan was meant to provide an outline of how to best use the land in and around Vancouver Lake. Various aspects were taken into account to develop the recommendations, including hydrology, pollution, existing land use, and socio-economic factors. This study was meant as a guide for growth, not a definite plan, and the authors specifically recommended that flexibility be retained to account for unforeseen developments in Clark County and the City of Vancouver.
