Fun fish activities

Michigan's Free Fishing Weekend is a great chance for kids and families to head outdoors, try something new, and enjoy time together near the water! During the special weekend, June 13-14, 2026, anyone can fish in Michigan without buying a fishing license, making it the perfect opportunity for children to learn how to cast a line, spot local fish, and explore Michigan's beautiful lakes and rivers.

Whether you visit a neighborhood pond or one of the Great Lakes, fishing can turn into an exciting adventure filled with fresh air, teamwork, and fun memories. Grab a fishing pole, pack some snacks, and see what you can catch during this family-friendly Michigan tradition!
