Rangeley, ME – Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust hosted the first annual Kids Ice Fishing Day on February 23 on Haley Pond in downtown Rangeley.
Over 60 community members joined RLHT on the ice for a free day of ice fishing. All holes were predrilled 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,” stated Program Manager, Amanda Laliberte. “We are already looking forward to next year’s event!”
