Diamond Valley Lake
Diamond Valley Lake is a lifeline for Southern California in times of drought. The lake holds enough water to meet the area's need in case of an emergency or drought with a six months supply of water enough to serve 18 million people in Southern California.

Diamond Valley Lake is embarking on a substantial trail system that will allow visitors to hike and ride through the hills surrounding the reservoir. One of the first multi-use trails will be developed along the north hills overlooking the lake. Other amenities are planned at the east dam area, including Metropolitan's partnership with the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District to develop a positive recreational environment that is proposed to include a swimming pool, soccer and other fields and more.
