Built in 1964 by USDA NRCS, this recreational structure stands at 34 feet high and stretches 225 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, it is regulated by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, ensuring regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to maintain safety standards.

Although Kimibakw has not been rated for its current condition, it has been inspected periodically since its last examination in May 1987. With a moderate risk assessment level of 3, the dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and sits on a foundation of rock and soil. Even though no emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps have been prepared, the structure remains under the jurisdiction of state regulatory agencies, ensuring necessary protocols are in place for any potential risks. Overall, Kimibakw serves as a vital recreational resource in Lamoille County, Vermont, showcasing the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in maintaining dam safety and functionality.
