To
fish in the park:
- You
must have a State
Park Admission
sticker on your
vehicle. Cost for
cars with Wisconsin
plates is $7/day
or $25/year; for
cars without Wisconsin
plates the cost
is $10/day or $35/year.
- If
you are 16 years
of age or older
you will need a
fishing license
to fish in the
park. You
need to obtain
the license before
you arrive, we
do not sell them
here.
- If
you are fishing
in the Urban Fishing
Pond and are 16
years of age or
older, you will
also need an Inland
Trout Stamp. Please
be aware this pond
has a special season
in which only persons
under 15 or persons
with disabilities
may fish--that
season is mid-March
through late-April
(see regulations
for actual dates).
- Please
read and follow
all regulations
as outlined in
the fishing regulation
book.
- Please
follow the carry-in,
carry-out policy
and take home all
litter and used
fishing line.
- Please
do not dispose
of unused bait
fish or crayfish
in any of the park
waters. Please
do not dispose
of unused worms
on the ground. These
animals are often
non-native and
can cause problems
in the park ecosystems.
Where
do I fish?
In
Vern
Wolf Lake, which
has an accessible
fishing pier and
the Urban Fishing
Pond which is accessible
are the best places. Most
of the other ponds
do not have fish. Several
ponds are posted “No
Fishing”,
please pay attention
to those signs.
What
do you do if I
arrive and the
office is closed?
You
must self register.
Directions
to self register:
There
is a labeled self-registration
box located next
to the ice machine
at the Entrance
Station. Lift
the lid and there
are arrows on the
lid indicating
which envelope
to use for camping/vehicle
admission stickers
or trail passes
or hunting. The
registration and
envelope are all
one form. Please
fill out the registration
legibly and completely. There
is a fee schedule
located on the
wall of the building
(just above the
lid), place the
correct amount
(we take checks
or cash) in the
envelope. Remove
the top copy and
place it on your
vehicle dash (for
camping and vehicle
admission) or on
your person (for
trail or hunting
passes). Peel
off the strip,
fold it over and
seal the envelope. Put
it in the slot
in the yellow post. If
you want an annual
sticker or annual
trail pass, make
sure we can read
your name and address
and put the correct
amount in the envelope.
We will mail the
sticker to you. If
you do not self-register,
you will be subject
to a fine.
