Diamond Lake is one of Oregon's true gems.
Diamond Lake is located near the eastern edge of the Umpqua National Forest, just west of the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness Area, and just north of Crater Lake National Park. Two impressive sites flank Diamond Lake - 8,368 ft. Mt. Bailey to the west, and 9,182 ft. Mt. Thielsen to the east. Big fish and plenty of them has been Diamond's trademark for many years.
