Kinnikinick Lake
Kinnikinick Lake is a relatively out of the way, open country body of water where people can recreate for the day. Bring your canoes, kayaks, and small motorboats to enjoy watching wildlife and fishing for Channel Catfish, Rainbow, brown, and tiger trout. Common visitors to the lake are elk, deer, and bald eagles. Occasionally antelope sightings are reported. Motorboats are restricted to 10hp or less.
The cold waters of Kinnikinick Lake are an ideal fishery and make it popular for trout fishing. The lake is regularly stocked with rainbow, brown, and brook trout for the avid trout fisherman.
Kinnikinick and the surrounding area provide excellent opportunities for wildlife watching with a good population of elk and a smaller number of antelope in residence. The available fish and year-round water also attract many water foul such as great blue heron, cormorants, and a wide variety of migratory ducks. In the fall and winter, you may observe the bald eagles as they spend the season fishing the open waters of Kinnikinick and the surrounding lake. The picturesque San Francisco Peaks can be seen on the horizon from the shores of Kinnikinick Lake, framed with open grasslands and old juniper trees. This is a scenic place to enjoy camping and fishing, so bring your camera along with your fishing boat or canoe.
