Michigan’s Free Fishing Weekend Events for Families

Love to fish? On June 13-14, 2020, southeast Michigan families can take advantage of Michigan’s Free Fishing Weekend — and this year, free off-road vehicle weekend, too!

In 2020, things are looking a little different during this annual event. Fishing licenses and state park entry fees are still waived, but because metro Detroit and Ann Arbor is just coming out of coronavirus lockdown, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any official events in our area.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy an afternoon of fishing with your family. Here are some tips and trick to help make the most of Michigan’s Free Fishing Weekend in 2020.

An expert with the Michigan Wildlife Council offers tips on preparing for a fishing trip with kids, including what to bring, ways to keep them from becoming bored and more.
