PADUCAH, KY (KFVS) - The Paducah Board of Commissioners has decided to put the removal of Duck Island in Noble Park Lake on hold and review the options.

An announcement was made Monday for city crews and a contractor to start the removal of the small island in Noble Park Lake. However, the project is on hold as city staff will provide the Mayor and Commission with several options for the island. 

According to the city, erosion has greatly reduced the island. Also exposure to rain, snow, ice and other elements has led to the deterioration of the island’s small decorative building. The building’s windmill was damaged last winter.  

“Instead of Duck Island being an item of beauty at Noble Park, it has become an eyesore,” said Parks Services Director Mark Thompson.

To remove the island, a small road will be built into Noble Park Lake allowing crews and equipment access to dig out the island. The city says the removal would take about one week.

PADUCAH, KY (KFVS) - The city of Paducah says Bob Noble Park Lake received a stocking of 2,500 rainbow trout on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the city, the rainbow trout average about 8-12 inches long.

The Paducah Parks Services Department and the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources are partners through the Fishing in Neighborhoods program. The FINs program started in 2006 with Paducah joining the program in 2009. The goal of the FINs program is to provide high quality fishing opportunities near cities of all sizes.

As part of the program, the 5.5 acre Bob Noble Park Lake receives four yearly stockings of channel catfish and three annual stockings of rainbow trout. The city says since trout prefer cold water, the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources stocks them during the cool months of February, March, and November. The department stocks catfish during the warmer months of March, April, May, and August.
