Kimkimay Lake is one of the several lakes of the province located at Taquib, Villaviciosa. It covers an approximate area of one hectare amidst hills bordering barangays Taquib and Callao, both in Villaviciosa.

Kimkimay Lake, according to legend carried by word of mouth was formerly a dwelling where several families lived. These families were however engaged in many vices so they were punished by the gods by sinking their community, submerging it in cool water.

Today, the lake is a favorite place for town picnickers using the lake as a swimming pool and place for fishing. This place can be reached from Bangued traveling along a 32 kilometer winding Penarrubia-Villaviciosa-Pilar Road. Read More: http://greedypeg.org/abra/Kimkimay-Lake.html
