Free Ice Fishing Day and Festival
Always wanted to go ice fishing but couldn’t find a good excuse to get away? Now we have found that excuse for you: a "Free Ice Fishing Day" on the last Saturday in January.
Date and Location: January 25, 2020, Lake Elmore State Park
Time: 2:00pm
Meeting Location: A-side beach parking lot
Phone: 802.244.7103
Here’s your chance to get a basic introduction to fishing. A state park interpreter will teach you about casting, tying knots, fishing regulations, and aquatic ecology, and then you'll have a chance to go fishing.
Clinics are free, but you will pay the day-use fee to enter the park if you are not already camping at the park. No registration is required. Please call the park for more information.
