Event details
Anglers, you’re not dreaming! We are keeping the gates open until dark for nighttime fishing! Fish often become more active at night when the water cools and the moon is full. Let the kids stay up late and bring the family to enjoy fishing under the stars.
Event requirements
No registration required.
We recommend a flashlight and bug repellent. The concessions building will be open for sales.
Hidden Lakes is accessible by way of a paved trail from the parking lot. There is an accessible fishing dock. The majority of the ponds can be accessed by mowed natural terrain. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should mention their request when registering or submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
