Wilkins Lake is a stillwater in Winchester, Virginia, inside the independent city at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley. Its in-town position makes it a handy local option rather than a destination water. No species list, fees or facilities are recorded for the lake, so check current City of Winchester and Virginia DWR guidance before fishing, and carry a Virginia freshwater license.
