Kincraig Lake Ecological Reserve, Wildlife reserve in Bispham, Blackpool, England.
The Kincraig Lake Ecological Reserve encompasses a lake surrounded by open farmland, providing essential habitats for numerous waterfowl and aquatic species in Lancashire.
Originally excavated as a marl pit in the 1890s for fertilizer production, the site transformed into one of fourteen Biological Heritage Sites in Blackpool.
Local residents established the Friends of Kincraig Lake group in 2008 to restore the wetland area through community efforts and regular maintenance activities.
The reserve offers multiple observation points and maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to observe diverse bird species including herons, swans, and kingfishers.
The reserve received a £22,800 Heritage Lottery Fund grant for restoration projects across its connected pond system, including Ashfield and Dumfries Place ponds.
