All ages – all the BEST things to do.

Free Family Fishing Day

Looking for a fun outdoor activity with the kids this weekend? Dirty Hairy’s Dog Boarding and Grooming is hosting a Free Family Fishing Day on Sunday, June 14, with fishing, food trucks, vendors, face painting, and expert fishing demonstrations.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 18251 Highway 87 in Boonville and is designed for anglers of all ages and experience levels.

Visitors can enjoy:

  • Free fishing in a freshly stocked pond
  • Fishing tips and demonstrations from local pro fishermen Scott and Tyler White
  • Food trucks and refreshments
  • Local vendors
  • Free face painting
  • Family-friendly outdoor fun

Families are encouraged to bring their own fishing gear and tackle, and participants may keep what they catch.

A few important reminders:

  • Use 18251 MO-87, Boonville, MO 65233 for directions.
  • Do not park on the grass due to recent rain and muddy conditions.
  • Personal pets should be left at home.
  • Swimming is not permitted in the lake.
  • Parking is available at the nearby Central Missouri Glass & More lot.

Please note that the lake is not fully handicap accessible. Organizers have cleared and maintained the shoreline as much as possible, but wet ground conditions may make navigation difficult for some visitors.

With fishing, food, vendors, and activities for kids, this free event offers a great way for families to spend a summer day outdoors while making a few memories—and maybe catching a fish or two along the way.

When: Sunday, June 14 | 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Where: 18251 Highway 87, Boonville, MO 65233
Cost: Free admission and fishing activities.
