Diamond
Lake, Cassopolis, Michigan
Diamond Lake is located in southwest lower Michigan,
in nearly the center of Cass County. It is situated southeast of the village,
and county seat, Cassopolis. Four different townships intersect in its waters;
Calvin, Jefferson, LaGrange, and Penn. The lake is 1,078 acres in size, 60% of
the lake is less than 10 feet deep, and is 64 feet at its deepest. Most of its
shoreline is lined with over 900 homes and cottages, including an occupied
island of about 43 acres in the center of the lake, accessible to island
residents by the privately owned ferry during the summer months. There is one
marina on its shores, and one public boat launch. Click on
