Anglers, you’re not dreaming! We are keeping the gates open until midnight for nighttime fishing. Fish often become more active at night when the water cools and only the moon lights up the water. Let the kids stay up late to enjoy fishing and s’mores under the stars or complete a flashlight scavenger hunt in the preserve.
Fee: Free!
Age: All ages. Participants younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
No registration required.
The parking lot is well lit, and the shoreline is accessible; however, anglers are encouraged to bring a flashlight and bug repellent. The concessions building will be open for sales; boat and equipment rentals will not be available.
Monee Reservoir has accessible shoreline and facilities. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online (https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/americans-with-disabilities-act-information/request-accommodation-inclusion-service/) no later than 48 hours before the program.
