Kibbie Lake lies in the remote north-west portion of Yosemite National Park in the United States. It is accessible only to hikers and equestrians. It is the largest non-artificial lake in the national park.
The lake was named after H.M. Kibbie, who owned land near the lake.[2]
The lake is surrounded by granodiorite, part of the Jack Main Canyon intrusive suite, emplaced approximately 91 million years ago.[3]
