I thought Diamond Lake got it’s name from the million sparkles reflected on the water in the breeze of the setting sun and sunrise
But the facts;
John Diamond, 1847, Irish immigrant settler first saw the lake in 1852 while searching for a wagon route over the cascade mountains. He climbed the timberline at commanding Peak and saw 23 miles of skyline and the Lake.
His name was given to
His view point
Dimond Peak (1870 feet)
and Diamond Lake
