Family Ice Fishing Day 2026

This event is now SOLD OUT! You are welcome to register for the wait list.

Join us Sunday, February 15th from 10am - 3pm for a day of ice fishing! Learn about what lurks beneath the ice and tips and tricks for a successful catch. Bring your own equipment or borrow one of our rods.

You are welcome to enjoy Elbow Lake anytime between 10am-3pm. There will be two fishing time blocks: 10am-12pm, and 1-3pm, where you will have an opportunity to fish. Please select your time block at registration. When you are not fishing, you are welcome to warm up by the fire, enjoy some hot chocolate, or explore one of our hiking trails. Remember to pack yourself a picnic lunch to enjoy in our heated Pavilion or out by the fire. 

There is also the option to rent one of our cabins overnight on Saturday, so you can be on site early and ready for fishing on Sunday.
