A Free Fishing weekend and a family campout are among upcoming events at local Huron-Clinton Metroparks.

Events are planned at Kensington and Hudson Mills Metroparks on Saturday, June 8th as part of the Michigan DNR’s Free Fishing Weekend – meaning a fishing license is not required. The programs teach participants how to properly bait a hook, cast a line, and reel in that big catch – with photo opportunities included. All equipment and bait is provided.

Also on June 8th at Hudson Mills Metropark, a Family Campout event is planned. It features a night of rustic family camping, with tents only and memories to be made. The activity center area will have a limited number of reservable sites with communal firepits. Activities will include interpretive-led programs, bird house making, yard games, an evening movie, and more.

Pre-registration is required for the programs. More information is available in the provided link.
