Hiking Tims Ponds

You won't be surprised to find folks fishing here during the spring and summer — the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regularly stocks this small pond with rainbow trout each year. 

As you walk the short trail around the lake, don't forget to look up to see the steep cliffs on the other side of the pond. In the fall, warm reds, yellows and oranges will surround you as you make your way around the water.
