Jackson F. Kimball State Recreation Site is a pristine site located at the headwaters of the Wood River. This stream flows from the pine forest into open meadow land laced with picturesque quaking aspen surrounded by the southern Cascade Mountains.
The Wood River offers fine fishing that can be accessed from the park by canoe. The park offers primitive camping next to a spring-fed lagoon at the beginning of this waterway.
