There’s nothing like the thrill of a first catch—bring your young anglers to reel in a big one at Kids Fishing Day. This fun-filled event is a great way for children to experience the excitement of fishing and explore the outdoors.

Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Camp Carson Picnic Shelter, with fishing from 9:00 a.m. to noon in a designated section of Wilson Creek. The event is open to children 12 and under only. No fishing license or permit is required, but participants must register before fishing. Please bring your own fishing gear and bait, as these are not provided.

While fishing is underway, kids can also enjoy hands-on activities at the Discovery Center. They’ll learn to identify local fish species and create colorful nature prints using rubber fish models and paint. A knot-tying workshop will teach essential fishing knots, and a casting game on land will help young anglers practice their aim.

Whether your child is new to fishing or already loves the outdoors, this event is a great way to make memories, learn new skills, and enjoy a day of family-friendly fun at Douthat State Park.

This event is sponsored by the Friends of Douthat State Park.
