The water is so thick with algae and farm runoff that it looks like pea soup. There are never any waves because it's thick as oil. Water quality is so bad that even the bullheads are dying, there were a bunch laying around the shoreline and stinking up the area. Lake is so shallow that we chipped our (brand new) boat propeller on rocks in the middle of the lake. Boat launch is small and difficult to use and there is only one parking spot.

Paddleboard at 7 am. Lake to myself and then some kayaks joined at 8. Great place for newish and someone looking to get their laps in for a work out. Nice launch and parking, it's newly updated. But still a little secret gem

Boat launch isn't very big and you have to park along a fairly busy road. There was a bullhead die off and the little guys we're dead and all over on the shoreline.
About Diamond Lake
Nestled in a picturesque setting, Diamond Lake is a hidden gem offering unique experiences for those seeking a tranquil escape in nature. While recent ecological challenges have made swimming less appealing and presented boating hurdles due to its shallow waters and thick algae presence, the lake remains popular among kayakers and paddleboarders who enjoy its calm surfaces. With a recently upgraded launch, it is a delightful spot for a morning workout or a peaceful paddle. Fishing enthusiasts continue to frequent the area, despite a noted fish die-off. Although limitations to more traditional lake activities exist, Diamond Lake's serene and virtually undiscovered environment offers tranquility and opportunities for exploration on quieter days.
