After World War I, coal production slowed and many people left for more economically developed areas. Because of its rural location, Black Diamond enjoys close proximity to many parks and recreations areas, including the Green River Gorge Conservation Area, Flaming Geyser State Park, and Mt. Rainier National Park. The nearby Kanaskat/Palmer Recreation Area is a popular site for camping. And the Green River is popular with river rafters, kayakers, and fishermen.
