Event details
It’s spring trout season at Hidden Lakes! To celebrate, we are opening the gates and concessions building for fishing at 6 a.m. Find your perfect spot along the shore of the two stocked lakes. Head to the Tackle Box bait shop for a free hot chocolate, tea or coffee and top off the morning with a complimentary doughnut to keep you fueled to fish. Need a fishing license and trout stamp? No problem! The Tackle Box sells those too.
