Surrounding Attractions
About five miles from Golden Village Palms, Diamond Valley Lake offers 45 acres of tranquility. Because no boats are allowed on the water, the lake and surrounding landscape enjoy a calm atmosphere. Fishing is popular here, with bluegill, sunfish, rainbow trout, and both blue and channel catfish biting on lines. Get an equally potent dose of the natural world at the Western Science Center, with a hands-on fossil exhibit. Max, the gigantic mastodon that once roamed California.
