Summer Recreation

Rainbow Trout Fishing is Back!

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has committed to stocking 300,000 rainbow fingerlings yearly. Last year they also stocked Tiger Trout. This year they plan to stock more Tiger Trout and also introduce Brown Trout. The Tigers and Browns are catch and release only.

The limit at Diamond Lake is 5 trout per day, of which one can be 20 inches or more. The 2018 season was one of the best we have seen in recent years. Limits wers caught quickly most within 2 to 3 hours. The fish ranged from 14 to 16 inches with some bigger fish caught occasionally.

United States Forest Service Campgrounds

United States Forest Service Campgrounds. There are over 450 camping sites at the three Umpqua National Forest campgrounds in the Diamond Lake Recreation Area. Diamond Lake, Broken Arrow, and Thielsen View campgrounds are very well maintained with paved roads and trailer pads. Only 175 of these sites are reserved through the National Recreation Reservation Service. 877-444-6777 or www.recreation.gov

The rest of the 226 campsites are first come, first served!

When you call the national reservation system and the operator tells you there are no camping sites available, they are only talking about the reserved sites, not the first come, first served ones.
