Beaver Lake is a 79 acre (0.3 km²) lake completely with the city limits of Sammamish, Washington (USA). The Beaver Lake watershed is 1,043 acres (4.2 km²); the mean depth is 21 feet (6.4 m), and the maximum depth is 50 feet (15 m).

There is public access and a boat ramp via Beaver Lake Park, located at the southwest corner of the lake. Boaters are not allowed to use gasoline motors, but fishing is still a popular recreational activity on the lake. The lake is also used for the swimming leg of the annual Beaver Lake Triathlon, which starts in the park.
