Three Black Diamond Area “Hidden Gems”

Beautiful Black Diamond, Washington is full of unique places of interest, from the historic Black Diamond Bakery to the ever-popular Lake Sawyer Park. Local area residents are lucky to call the Black Dimond area home for a number of reasons, including having easy access to these three unique, “hidden gems.”

Green River Gorge

Green River Gorge, located just east of Black Diamond and Ten Trails, is the last river-cut canyon in western Washington. On a path near the Franklin Ghost Town Trail, hikers can take in breathtaking views of the Maid of the Mist Waterfall.
