BC Recreation Site — To get on the Kimbol Lake trailhead, begin by walking up the old road that continues past the Nakusp Hot Springs pool parking lot. Shortly you will cross Kuskanax Creek on a suspension bridge. Once across the bridge, follow the signs marked "To Springs", or "To Source". Take a few minutes to explore the original hot spring development. Old pools, cement foundations and rock walls hint at what once was. Behind the largest pool, a brown 4x4 post marks the beginning of the Kimbol Lake trail. After a short steep pitch, the trail takes a more moderate grade as it climbs steadily through a tranquil cedar and hemlock forest with an understorey of mosses and shade loving plants. About 3 km from the parking lot, the trail crosses a logging road before entering the Kimbol Creek
