Kids’ Fishing Day on Saturday

Roaring River State Park will host Kids’ Fishing Day on Saturday. Youth will have the opportunity to fish all day for free and connect with nature through a variety of activities. Everyone 15 and younger will be able to get tags for free the day of the event. A section of the river from the first low-water crossing up toward the hatchery will be specially designated for youth to fish in throughout the day. Adults will not be allowed to fish by themselves in this area. Parents and guardians are welcome to help the children as needed, but only one pole between the helper and the kid may be used at any time. Volunteers will be present to help in any way possible. A free lunch of hot dogs, chips and a drink will be provided by the park concessionaire in the lower section of the CCC Lodge. Fishing hours are from 6:30 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. This is a joint event with the Missouri Department of Conservation.
