Family Fishing Day

Every year we host Family Fishing Day at Rockefeller Lagoon. This free event is an opportunity for people of all ages and experience levels to enjoy a day of fishing and watershed education. Children, senior citizens and veterans will receive a free fishing rod while supplies last, and experienced fishing instructors will be onsite. This venue is wheelchair accessible, and we welcome participants of all abilities.

Calling All Adventurers!

Are you a long-time fishing fanatic, or would you like to try to catch your first fish? Join Doan Brook Watershed Partnership and Cleveland Metroparks at Rockefeller Lagoon for Family Fishing Day! The lagoon will be stocked with beautiful, farm-raised bluegill and catfish, and we will have free fishing rods and bait while supplies last! Rockefeller Lagoon (7 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive Cleveland, OH) is wheelchair accessible, and you do not need a fishing license to fish there!
