2024 Map of Diamond Lake

About this map

Diamond Lake serves as the focal point of this recreational landscape, where the waters of the Clearwater River and Lava Creek define the hydrologic character of the high Cascades. The map documents a complex network of winter and summer transit, including the Mt Bailey Trl and the Dellenback Bike Path Trl, illustrating the area's development for outdoor activity. Prominent volcanic features like Mt Bailey, Rodley Butte, and Hemlock Butte tower over the basin, providing the dramatic topography that feeds tributaries such as Silent Creek and Lake Creek. The concentration of cross-country ski and snowmobile trails, such as the Cinnamon Butte Xc-Ski Trl and Bear Creek Snomo Trl, indicates a landscape primarily managed for seasonal forest access and preservation within the Douglas County wilderness.
