Diamond Valley Lake, CA

Welcome to Southern California. At the left, I am with Candice, a guide at Diamond Valley Lake. The lake is a recent project to store water for the use of about 18 million residents of Southern California. The lake holds almost 260 billion gallons of water, although the recent drought has the level down considerably. Some recreation is allowed on the lake, but it is tightly controlled. The lake has been stocked with Bass, Trout, Bluegill and Catfish. There are bike and hiking trails around the lake with many viewing areas. This truly is the "Jewel of California Lakes" as advertised by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
