🎣 FREE Fishing Weekend is June 6–7 across Kentucky! ☀️

This statewide event means no fishing license is required for anyone fishing Kentucky waterways during these dates—making it the perfect opportunity to introduce kids and beginners to fishing.

Kentucky State Parks are a great place to make a weekend of it, with easy access to lakes, family-friendly settings, and plenty of outdoor adventure.

Need gear? We’ve got you covered! Check out loaner fishing equipment locations here:

📷 by : 4th trip to southern Kentucky in 1 week to go waterfall hunting. Working in Lexington, it’s 2 hours roughly and at gas at 4.50 a gal, it’s pricy but damn has it been worth it with all this rain. Now who has a kayak I can borrow to get to mystery falls? Here’s a shot from last week. (canonusa 6dmk2 / tamronamericas 24-70 2.8 / kaseglobal filters / promasterphoto SP528CK tripod)

Thanks to for sharing your view!

If you're visiting this weekend, keep an eye out for the park's famous moonbow—a rare nighttime rainbow that appears in the mist of Cumberland Falls under the right conditions. 🌈
