Kincraig Lake Ecological Reserve, Wildlife reserve in Bispham, Blackpool, England.
Kincraig Lake Ecological Reserve is a protected area with a lake surrounded by open farmland that supports numerous waterfowl species. The reserve features several observation points and maintained footpaths for viewing diverse birds including herons, swans, and kingfishers.
The area was excavated as a marl pit in the 1890s for fertilizer production. It later became one of fourteen Biological Heritage Sites in Blackpool.
The site has become a gathering place for people interested in wetland conservation since a community group formed to restore it in 2008. Regular maintenance activities show how locals and visitors shape the landscape together.
Visitors can follow several marked trails that allow safe exploration of the area. Early morning is the best time for bird watching when wildlife is most active.
The site received funding for restoration projects that involved several connected ponds across the area. This comprehensive work greatly improved habitat for aquatic animals.
