National Hunting and Fishing Day is held nationwide on the fourth Saturday of every September to recognize generations of sportsmen and women for their contributions to conservation.

Alcohol is not permitted. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets, so they can sit back, relax, and enjoy the day.

On May 2^nd 1972, President Richard Nixon signed the first proclamation of National Hunting and Fishing Day, urging all citizens to join with outdoor sportsmen in the wise use of our natural resources. NHFD became a tradition and is now an annual event celebrated on the fourth Saturday in September.
