Hicklin Lake

Hicklin Lake is a small lake in the White Center census-designated place of King County, Washington, near Evergreen High School, Cascade Middle School, and Dick Thurnau Park (Lakewood Park). Due to its geography and drainage basin, it has suffered from pollution and eutrophication. Artificial islands were placed in the lake in 2013 to reduce pollution, but they have failed to reduce nutrient concentrations.
