What Guests Are Saying
The Diamond Creek Guard Station is located in a pleasant area, though noise from nearby pipeline work was noted. Fishing opportunities could be improved, but the facility provided ample toilet paper. Firewood supplies were limited, but foraging was possible, and the cabin maintained a comfortable temperature.
