About Kimball Lake Campground
Kimball Lake Campground is a small campground that is excellent for people who want to camp and fish. Kimball Lake is a small state-managed trout lake stocked with rainbow trout. Because of this special designation, anglers are required to have a fishing license with a trout stamp. A non-maintained trail circles the lake for shore casting. Adjacent Mink Lake has a sand swimming beach and barrier free fishing pier. [Downloadable information and map.](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5302387.pdf)
