Want to fish but don’t have a rod and reel? No problem!
Bass Lake Park in Holly Springs has fish aplenty,
and the rods and reels are free.
Thanks to the park’s library system for loaning out fishing equipment, the ultimate kick-back-and-relax sport is accessible to everyone.
“The program is part of the North Carolina Wildlife Commission,” said Park Manager Sabrina Thompson. “You get a little blue card and you can check out a rod and reel like you would check out a book at the library. There is no charge.”
And while catching something isn’t a guarantee, Thompson says the stocked lake and fish feeders mean fishers almost always get a bite.
In addition to fishing, Bass Lake Park also has canoe and boat rentals for those who would rather get out on the lake than enjoy it from the dock.
The facility is a North Carolina Environmental Education Center and offers hiking trails, a nature library, kids’ camps and other community activities like bingo and concerts. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the park is open from 8 a.m. to one hour before sunset. For more information, visit http://www.hollyspringsnc.us/dept/park/basslake/index.asp
