One of Nature's Crown Jewels
Adjoining the Okanogan National Forest, 40 acre Walker Lake whispers solitude from the middle of the 5.5 miles around, 767 acre Diamond Belle Ranch. 360 degree views, deep evergreen forests, aspens, and gentle slopes bursting with wild flowers beckon for adventure or whisper in your ear for a communion with Nature.
From the beginning the Diamond Belle has captivated and brought inner smiles of delight to those who experience her abundance of spectacular scenery for hiking, photography and bird watching. Built in 1946, and operated until 1952, the 10 bedroom lake-front lodge long ago proved its attraction for the outdoorsman or those folks looking to enjoy peaceful times away from it all.
Vibrant and unspoiled, the Diamond Belle speaks volumes in tribute to the hardships, joys and accomplishments of the hardy souls who first homesteaded this land. Today she remains true to her roots, blessing her guests with lasting feelings from her unspoiled wilderness, abandoned homesteads and the bordering National Forest. Discover for yourself the unspoiled, unhurried charm and pace of the Diamond Belle and the valued resources of Nature: There has been no hunting for years.
