Lake Crabtree's Free Fishing on the Fourth

  • When: Friday, July 4, 2025,  9:00 am - 11:30 pm
  • Location: Fishing Platform, 1400 Aviation Pkwy, Morrisville, NC 27560

Fishing is a fun and inexpensive way to celebrate Independence Day! The NC Wildlife Resources Commission invites anglers and would-be anglers of all ages to go fishing for free on July 4th. Everyone in NC (residents and non-residents) can fish in any public body of water, including coastal waters without a fishing license. Although no license is required, all other fishing regulations, such as size, creel limits and lure restrictions still apply.

Lake Crabtree County Park staff will have fishing rods for you to borrow and will be on hand to provide basic instruction or other assistance. Pre-registration is encouraged in order to guarantee equipment; otherwise, fishing poles are available on a first-come, first-served basis or you can bring your own. Bring your own bait or use ours. For ages 5 and up (children must be accompanied by an adult).
