 Get outdoors for a morning of lakeside winter fun! The Friends of Capital Springs Recreation Area and Dane County Parks are pleased to sponsor a free winter event, featuring ice fishing and snowshoeing at Lake Farm County Park. Great for families!

At 9:15 AM, Yahara Fishing Club will conduct an ice fishing demonstration on Lake Waubesa, and at 10:30 AM, volunteers will lead a snowshoe hike along Lake Waubesa lakeshore trails through the beautiful Capital Springs Centennial State Park. Also enjoy a roaring bonfire, treats and warm refreshments at shelter 1! The event is free.

A state fishing license is required for visitors 16 years or older; purchase online at http://dnr.wi.gov/gowild/resident.html. A very limited supply of fishing gear will be available for use; please bring your own snowshoes.
