Youth Fishing Event

May 17, 2025
Harry Todd Park
8 a.m. – 12 p.m.

The Youth Fishing Event happens yearly in Lakewood at one of our two parks with shoreline to American Lake. We host the event in collaboration with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. A netted area near the beach is stocked with fish from our local hatcheries. Each kid is given their own pole to keep and enjoys a 60-minute teaching session. Additionally, bait and bags for caught fish are provided.

We have held this event at American Lake Park and Harry Todd Park. The 2024 event will be at American Lake Park.

Only children and youth may fish. Adults may only assist.
