Kids Fishing Day: Bennett Spring Kids Free Fishing day

Date: Saturday, May 7, 2022 6:30 am - Saturday, May 7, 2022 8:00 pm

Location: Bennett Spring State Park

Young anglers will have opportunities to experience the fun of catching fish at Bennett Spring State Park’s Kids’ Fishing Day 6:30 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. on May 7. Kids ages 15 and under can pick up free trout tags at the park store on May 6 from 5-9:15 p.m. and all day on May 7. A section of Zone 2 and Zone 3 at the park will be reserved for youth anglers.

Volunteers will be on hand to help. Kids are encouraged to bring their own fishing equipment. Parents are welcome to help kids, but adults are also asked to let children fish by themselves as much as possible. Only one pole may be used between the helper and the child. Adults are not allowed to fish in the designated kids’ fishing zone.

Volunteers are needed to help with this event. Individuals wishing to volunteer do not need to be experienced anglers.
