By Laura Miller, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Appleton-Waupaca-Oshkosh May 17, 2023

Every year on the first weekend in June, the Wisconsin DNR has a free fun weekend, when families can get:

  • Free entry to 50 state parks, 15 state forests, and 44 state trails
  • Free fishing in Wisconsin's 15,000 lakes and 84,000 miles of rivers and streams
  • Free DNR trails for their designated uses, including cycling and horseback riding
  • Free ATV/UTV public trails

Visit the DNR Free Fun Weekend website to get all the details, including locations, rules, and restrictions for each activity. All other fishing regulations are still in place.

Did your family love fishing together this weekend and you'd like to get out more? If you're new to fishing or haven't purchase a license in 10 years or more, you can get the first time/welcome back fishing license for just $5!
