Lake details:
Diamond Lake lies in central Cass County of southwestern Michigan , about 1 mile southeast of the city of Cassopolis . Diamond Lake is natural, having been formed during the Wisconsinan glacial stage (10,000 to 75,000 years ago). The 3,843-acre watershed drains to Christiana Creek which flows south to the St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan.
The topography of the watershed is that of gently rolling hills made of well-drained sandy outwash plains and moraines. The soils are classified as Kalamazoo - Schoolcraft associations, which are well drained loamy soils. The watershed is primarily made up of farms, woodlots, and residential homes around the lake.
Diamond Lake is 1,020 acres in size and up to 64 feet deep (see map). It has a flushing rate of 2.9 years (Water Quality Investigators 1994). Diamond Island (43.1 acres) is found in the center of the lake. Shoal areas (less than 20 feet deep) account for about 68% of the surface area of the lake.
