Cowan Lake Youth Trout Fishing Event

ODNR Division of Wildlife will be stocking "catchable" 10-14 inch rainbow trout in the Cowan Lake Youth Fishing Pond for a Trout Youth Fishing Event has been rescheduled for Saturday April 1, 2023 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Note that the Youth Pond will be closed to the public once the trout are stocked and reopened when the event starts.  This ODNR sponsored event will be located at the Family Fishing Pond located on the south side of Cowan Lake off of Yankee Rd. While there, be sure to walk the new Storybook Trail with your kids. It is located across from the pond. There is a limit of 5 trout, any size per day.  These rainbow trout are stocked to be harvested since they are not native to Ohio and can not survive in the warmer waters of summer. You might want to consider bringing a small cooler with ice to hold your fish until you can clean them.  If you don't have fishing gear, no problem, we will provide a limited number of rods/reels and bait along with volunteers to help you fish.
