Fall Family Fishing Fest - FREE!

Children and families are invited to a fun fishing event along the Ohio and Erie Canal just down the hill from CanalWay Center. Rainbow trout and catfish will be stocked prior to the event. Educational stations will provide opportunities for families to learn fishing skills or test their knowledge. Fishing will be open to anglers of all ages. Anyone age 16 years and older must have a current Ohio Fishing license to fish. Prizes will be awarded in several fishing categories for youth ages 15 years and younger. Youth must be present to win.

Catch a bite to eat at the Cleveland Metroparks Food Truck!

Bring a rod, tackle and a cooler with ice to store the “catch of the day.” Bait will be provided, and loaner fishing rods will be available while supplies last. This event is rain or shine.
Golf cart shuttles will provide rides for seniors and persons with disabilities.

Note: To provide the best fishing opportunities for children, event waters will be closed to fishing immediately after stocking (as early as Monday, October 5) until the start of the event.

Ohio & Erie Canal Fishing Area. Park at the CanalWay Center parking lot, located off the E. 49th Street entrance to Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation in Cuyahoga Hts. Walk the paved trail to the canal.
