     Just can't get enough of Kimta Lake. A quick tour to South Fork Kimta Creek close to Kimta Lake is a glorious idea, and fine skiing awaits you at Hurricane Ridge Ski Lodge. Kimta Lake is located in the Olympic Mountains.
This lake is so wonderful. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by nearby Three Prune Lakes; a tremendous nearby hotel is Lake Quinault Lodge. Summertime at Kimta Lake comes with high temperatures in the 70's.
 
   Summer nighttime lows sink down to the 50's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 40's with temperatures at Kimta Lake dipping down into the 30's all through winter nights. This lake is so wonderful. The top of Kimta Peak is easily distinguished from Kimta Lake; Olympic National Park is one of the destinations that are fine to stop by close by.
Good hiking is available along the Elwha River Trail; in case you don’t have a problem getting drenched, you can
 
               always go whitewater paddling on Quinault River - North Fork. Whitewater paddling is nice on Quinault River, and there are great places to look at along the Skyline Trail. Having a fine time in the Olympic Mountains is easy. Go for a hike on the Hoh River Trail, and Kimta Lake is nice enough to spend more than a day at, Graves Creek Campground is a nice local campground.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Kimta Lake a wet place; most of the rain falls through December, and July is when it's the driest. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors enjoyable things the Olympic Mountains has to offer. Lakes are magnificent; Kurtz Lake is a lake that's right next door to Kimta Lake, and camping at Campbell Tree Grove Campground is always a magnificent experience.

Nice. Good car-camping family place.

We got stuck at the intersection for 3? hours on Thursday, August 7, as the road didn't open until 6:30 p.m. Rumor is that the paving work and road closures will continue for the next two years....WHEN YOU TAKE THE HIKE AROUND THE LAKE BE SURE YOU TAKE WATER AND FOOD. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, BUT 12 MILES AND 6 HRS. TO COMPLETE. ENJOY !!!...

Wynoochee Falls campground has been closed and the campground sign, firepits, restroom and tables removed. You?ll have to drive about 15 miles of gravel road to get here. There is a rock pedestal with a missing sign along the Wynoochee road 4 miles NE of the lake near the end of the road. This marks the parking area and access trail down to the falls. The ? mile trail is interrupted with large ditches to discourage access and camping. The waterfall is only about 100 feet high, (maybe less) but very picturesque, with a large clear basin at its base and an outlet scoured through granite rocks....
