Boasting an 800-acre lake surrounded by majestic hardwood forests, Hinckley Lake was established as a reservoir in 1882 and quickly became a popular summertime destination. Boating, fishing, and swimming have all been popular activities, and the boathouse and store were built to provide supplies, bait, and trailer-launch services. The current iteration of the Hinckley Lake Boathouse & Store was opened in 2015. The building is wholly owned and operated by the village of Hinckley, and it serves a range of customer needs. The store offers an array of sportfishing and bait supplies, along with a variety of boating and other outdoor accessories for purchase.
