HARRISBURG – Lake Poinsett was officially rededicated Tuesday with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission staff and local officials on hand at Lake Poinsett State Park to celebrate the completion of the lake’s $3.5 million renovation. The project marks the largest AGFC lake renovation to date. Most of the physical work on Lake Poinsett was finished in December 2020, but the lake is rainfall dependent for refilling. Lake Poinsett was constructed in 1961 within Lake Poinsett State Park, which is operated by Arkansas State Parks. Volunteer groups helped the AGFC staff place newly constructed habitats around the lake, which will help boost the fishery.
