Fishing Tackle Loaner Program
Want to have fun like you’ve never had before? Go fishing! Whether you’re 8 or 88 years young, you can borrow a rod and reel from us for FREE. Just like checking out a book at the library. When a participant signs up for the program and completes the registration form, the participant will be issued a permanent rod & reel loaner card and may check out a rod & reel for a certain amount of time. The card must be kept in the park office while the participant is borrowing the equipment. If equipment is not returned or returned in poor condition, they will lose their card and benefits.
The program is designed to introduce children & adults to the wholesome outdoor activity of angling. Currently 27 states take part in the Fishing Tackle Loaner Program. It allows kids & adults to go fishing anytime of the year, regardless of experience or amount of personal equipment. So, come out, soak up the sunshine, take in the fresh air, and get ready for extra excitement when the big one bites!
For additional information or to gain more experience in the sport of angling, make sure to check out our various fishing classes that are offered.
