Activity Type: 
Education/Outreach/Engagement
Rental fishing equipment has been made available in 30 of Minnesota's state parks. The rental equipment is free of charge for anyone to use and provides all visitors to take part in one of Minnesota's favorite past times. The "Kids Discovery Kits" were designed to provide park visitors with a fun, hands-on, educational activity to do while visiting a state park. Each kit contains a variety of activities ranging from camp skills, to guided discover, to nature exploration.

About the Issue

Providing equipment and doing so at a free or reduced fee, are approaches to eliminating potential barriers to participation for park and trail users.
