About this no-lottery opportunity

The park offers directly purchased day-use passes and day-pass reservations. Eligible shore fishing has a state-park license exemption; no fishing or day-pass draw is described. Check actual capacity with the park.

No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
