Lake Lucille is a 350-acre lake within the municipal limits of Wasilla, Alaska, located at 61°34′N 149°28′W / 61.567°N 149.467°W. Most of the lake shoreline is private property, and many residents have docks for swimming, boating, or docking floatplanes. There is also a city park with a campground and boat launch. "Lake Lucille is basically a dead lake -- it can't support a fish population" according to Michelle Church, a local environmentalist. State environmental officials say that leaching sewer lines and fertilizer runoff caused an explosion of plant growth in the lake, which sucked the oxygen out of the water and led to periodic fish kills.
