J.C. Murphey Lake at Willow Slough FWA is a reservoir that was created in 1951 to provide an area for migrating waterfowl to use. Renovation began on March 21, 2022 with the removal of the water control structure boards. Once the water was fully drained out, habitat work began. A large portion of the lake is shallow, less than 3 feet in depth, and is a wetland-type habitat. J.C. Murphey Lake will always require renovations to mimic the wet/dry cycles found in nature that provide optimum habitat for fish and wildlife species. Past renovations traditionally occurred about every 12 years. The last renovation was 19 years ago in 2003. That drawdown benefited roughly 20 species of greatest conservation need in Indiana along with a host of other species, including game species. Learn more at https://www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildl...
