Diamond Lake is named for the lake of the same name. The origin of the name is unknown, but it likely comes from the shape of the lake. The lake is home to a 73-acre park inMPRB district 5, established in the late 1920s.[6] Unlike the members of the nearbyChain of Lakes, Diamond Lake is preserved as a natural wetland, featuring only an unpaved path and a canoe launch/fishing dock.[7]
