This state park provides a number of locations to fish on both the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers as well as on Snelling Lake. Sunfish (bluegills, pumpkinseeds), northern pike can be found at the lake. There is a fishing pier on this lake. Entrance fee to park, but no fishing licenses are required to fish the lake. Fish either side of the boat landing at Hidden Falls. Fishing can be very good here and is a favorite spot for many local anglers. For an added adventure, pack up your gear and hike the trail that starts near the picnic shelters upriver towards the dam. After a short hike you will break out of the forest and onto a gravel beach. Fishing here can also be good with catfish and other species available.
