This Saturday is Free Fishing and Park Entry Day across Nebraska.
On May 20, everyone and anyone can visit a state park, state recreation area or state historical park without the need to purchase a park entry permit.
Several parks throughout the state will be holding family-friendly activities during the day.
Anglers must observe all fishing regulations. Camping, lodging and all other user fees still apply at state park areas. Entrance fees for museums at state historical parks and the entrance fee at the Schramm Education Center remain in effect.
At Fort Kearney families can fish from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with loaner fishing equipment and bait provided. Certified Youth Fishing Instructors will be on-site to provide instruction.
More about Free Fishing and Park Entry day can be found on the Outdoor Nebraska Game and Parks Outdoor calendar here.
