Unfortunately we have had to cancel this year’s Family Ice Fishing Day due to the weather. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to run the event again next year!
Join us Sunday, February 16th from 12 pm to 4 p.m. for an afternoon of ice fishing. Learn about what lurks beneath the ice and tips and tricks for success. Bring your own equipment or borrow one of our rods. When you’re done fishing, warm up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa.
You are welcome to enjoy Elbow Lake anytime between 12-4 pm. There will be two fishing time blocks, 12-2pm and 2pm-4pm when you will have an opportunity to fish. These will be chosen at registration. When you are not fishing, you are welcome to warm up by the fire, drink hot chocolate, or explore one of our hiking trails.
Fishing licenses are not needed as it is License-Free in Ontario from February 15th-17th, 2025
Come for the afternoon or stay for the night in one of our heated cabins (special rate of $90/cabin/night). Overnight is from February 16th until 17th. Check-out is at 11 am on Monday.
Register Here! UPDATE: February 13, 2025. The event is sold out and we’ve closed registration. For those registered, please monitor your email for weather updates that may impact the event.
Please note that Elbow Lake only allows the use of barbless hooks, no live bait, and is catch and release only.
