RANGELEY — Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust hosted the inaugural Kids Ice Fishing Day on Feb. 23 on Haley Pond in downtown Rangeley.
More than 60 community members joined the trust on the ice for a free day of fishing. All holes were pre-drilled by volunteers. Traps and bait were donated by community members. A pop-up shelter provided a warm space for changing infants and warming hands.
“It was the perfect afternoon to introduce our youth to Rangeley’s sporting heritage, inspire their lifelong interest in the outdoors and connect them to the lands and water that RLHT has conserved,” said Program Manager Amanda Laliberte. “We are already looking forward to next year’s event.”
