Overview
Diaz Lake is an 80-acre lake three miles south of Lone Pine on U.S. 395, run by Inyo County Parks and Recreation with Sierra views. Shore fishing is allowed all year, and there is an ADA fishing deck near the boat launch ramp. Kayaks, canoes and other non-motorized boats can use the lake year-round. Motorized boating is seasonal; in 2026 it opened May 15 and closes starting November 1, with daily boating hours, and boats must meet county inspection rules. The county campground has 100 spaces that fit large RVs, with vault toilets, grills, fire rings and limited water spigots, but no showers or hookups. LADWP also lists Diaz Lake among favorite Eastern Sierra fishing spots.
