Park Partner Information

 

Wilkins Lake

Located in near Christianson Familyland, Wilkins Lake is a public fishing lake in Jim Barnett Park. Each year, the park offers a Family Day Fishing Rodeo in June and the lake is stocked full of plenty of fish to catch.

The lake was made possible thanks to generous donations by the Wilkins family in Winchester over four decades ago (40th anniversary in 2024).
