Kayaking at Hawthorne Lake

RSVPs are required for kayaking. To RSVP, call Amy at 319-213-5607.

Enjoy a fall morning on the water! We'll explore the lake at the DNR's Hawthorne Lake Wildlife Management Area, just 15 minutes southeast of Diamond Lake in Barnes City. We'll meet at the west boat ramp. Amy can help give you directions when you call to RSVP. 

Nature Explorers

Nature Explorers is a free program for preschoolers through 5th graders - though learners of all ages are always welcome! We will meet every other Tuesday at the Main Shelter at Diamond Lake Park.  The same program will be offered at 10 am and 1 pm, come to whichever works for your family's schedule. Feel free to bring a picnic to eat in the shelter before or after your program!

Amy will send a text out on Monday to let you know what to expect (ex: we'll be hiking you might want boots and a baby carrier; it's surprisingly chilly, we're moving indoors etc.) call or text to get on the text reminder list. 

RSVPs are not required, but they are always appreciated!

Kayaking at Diamond Lake

RSVPs are required for kayaking. To RSVP, call Amy at 319-213-5607.

Meet at the Diamond Lake Boat Ramp. Beginners welcome! All sessions start with a quick lesson. Kayaks and life jackets are provided.. These events will be held regularly throughout the summer, and are a great time to do something as a family, meet up with an old friend, or make new friends!

Trunk or Treat

This page will be updated as we have more information. 

Contact Amy if you are interested in volunteering to help with crafts, or yard games, etc. 

We are looking for apples to press into cider. Contact Amy if you have some available. We can come and pick them up!

Come on out to Diamond Lake for an afternoon of fall fun! 

From 2:30 - 4:00 Trunk or Treating will be held in the "new campground" (sites 50 - 81)

If you are camping for the weekend, and would like to decorate your site and hand out candy set up in one of those sites. If that campground fills up consider setting a up a table or vehicle in the overflow parking areas, so you can still participate! 

Sites will be numbered and visitors can vote for their favorite! The top 3 places will recieve certificates for free nights of camping. 

As people finish Trunk or Treating, from 3:00- 6:00 we'll have more activities in the park including  wildlife skits, pumpkin decorating, archery (for ages 7 and up), apple cider pressing, and more!

Depending on ground conditions parking will be available in front of the ranger house, on the hill near the trunk or treat loop.
