Located in the heart of the High Sierra Recreation Area, this is a nice drive in a scenic area. The old access road comprises the route and the dam makes an excellent place for a picnic. The road is approximately 1.5 mile long and is a very easy drive for the beginner four wheel driver. Because it's close proximity to the campgrounds of the recreation area, this makes it an excellent day adventure. While at the diversion dam, you can view the nearby Bear Dome (9,947 feet), Mt. Hopper (12,349 feet), and the Infant Buttes (10,137 feet).
