About Kinnikinick Lake Picnic Area
Located near Kinnikinick and Mormon Lakes, this rustic day-use area provides an excellent place to kick back and relax in relative seclusion. 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…
