As mitigation for the Cowlitz River hydroelectric projects, Tacoma Public Utilities has purchased a 60 to 300 foot buffer along the entire shoreline of Mayfield Reservoir. The upland is mainly residential development with access to the buffer primarily by water. The reservoir is well known for its water sports and tiger miskie and rainbow trout fishery.
