Conservancy On Ice: Let’s Go Ice Fishing!

Join the Wild Rivers Conservancy at Willow River State Park along with partner Naturalist Ash Goldbeck from the Friends of Willow River, Kinnickinnic River State Park, the National Park Service for a day of ice fishing lessons and practice. No fishing licenses are required this weekend!

All you need to bring is an excitement to learn and your own winter weather gear to stay warm out on the ice.
