Lake Sawyer — Attraction in Black Diamond

At first we were very excited to stay here. The lake was beautiful and it seemed very cozy and inviting. Unfortunately, we were there during the off season so boat rentals and community areas were not open. The restrooms/showers on site were run down and we were glad to have an RV with a bathroom. We showered off site as well as the showers looked questionable. We were hoping to find somewhere we could stay through the summer but they did not have any monthly site rentals available, the campground was no where near full but they were not willing to work with us. To top it off the lady in the office, whom I believe to be the owner was curt and came off as rude. They do not do refunds so only pay for as many nights as you are certain that you will be there. The dump fee was $20 and there were signs at the office stating that you need to dump somewhere else prior to checking in. Basically it's a beautiful location with very poor management.

Even if you’re just sitting by the shore, every breath you take fills you with a sense of calm and serenity.

There’s no need to rush, no need to hurry — you can just stop, enjoy the moment, and truly connect...

My wife and I visited a boat launch on a Saturday afternoon around 4 PM. The parking fee was $10, but after a 45-minute drive, we couldn't find an available spot to park.

The lake seems like a good spot for fishing – it's big and beautiful. We'll plan to visit another time.

It's best to have a motorized boat if you're on this lake. Using an inflatable kayak, like the one I have, might be...
