What is River Day?

Since 2004, activities have been taking place in early June that allow everyone to celebrate, enhance and protect the beautiful rivers, lakes and bays we have right here in St. Clair County. River Day corresponds with Michigan's Free Fishing Weekend giving you the chance to drop a line without a license. Don’t have any fishing equipment? Don’t let that stop you! Free fishing poles and tackle boxes are available at the Port Huron, Marysville, St. Clair, Ira, Algonac, Memphis and Yale libraries. All you need is a library card… and the bait! So whether you like to stay dry, get wet, play, learn, relax or go, it won’t cost you a thing to get out and have fun on the water with your friends and family!
