*During the lake closure, woody and herbaceous plant material was established in the center area of Hinckley Lake. The lake was refilled in October 2025, 2 years after being drained. The plant material was left to provide protection for varying stages of the fish population as they work to re-establish within Hinckley Lake in the coming years. A variety of bird species also benefit from the stems that are above the water line, including waterfowl and songbirds. An updated fish stocking plan is located at Hinckley Lake Boathouse with more information.
