September 2, 2020

This weekend is Labor Day and we have exciting news at Lake Jennings. Not only can you see our new boat dock in person, we are also open on Monday. This gives you extra time to rent a boat, try fishing, explore our trails or take in the scenery. Make your Labor Day weekend memorable and visit Lake Jennings.On Friday, Fish Until Midnight

Fish this Friday and stay out until midnight! Friday Night Fishing is now on a regular schedule. The lake opens at 3 p.m. and you can fish until midnight. Entrance to the lake closes at 10 p.m. Full-size lanterns are required for each boat after 8 p.m.

Try Fishing this Saturday

Saturday, September 5, is the California Department of Fish & Wildlife’s FREE fishing day. You can fish without a California state fishing license for the day. This is a great chance to bring a rod, reel and try a new sport. Fees for lake entrance and fishing permits still apply.

We are Open Monday, too

We are open this Monday for Labor Day. This is one extra day for boating, hiking, fishing, picnicking or bird watching. The lake opens Monday at 6 a.m. and will close at 3 p.m.

Low-Cost Fishing Fees for Children

Share fishing with the next generation. We have free or low-cost fishing fees for children. Children under the age of eight fish free with a paid adult fishing permit. Children 8 to 15 years old fish for $5. An adult must accompany children under age 16 at all times. Any person fishing who is 16 and over must have a California state fishing license.

We’re Stocking Extra Fish

We stocked the lake with a total of 5,000 pounds of catfish this summer. We’re adding another 1,000 pounds the week after Labor Day.
