| Diamond Lake has had some problems in the past with "trash fish" but these have been removed and the lake is being stocked again. In addition to the stocked fish there are always a good supply of fish that were stocked the year before and have grown in size. The 2008 fishing reports have been excellent. |
There are plenty of activities for visitors who want to do more than fishing:
