Yesterday was a beautiful day for ice fishing on Madison Lake! Students joined for half-day sessions to learn the basics of ice fishing and practiced their new skills on the ice. Our crew caught a variety of fish throughout the day and stayed warm chasing after tip-ups and making s'mores around the campfire.

The annual Candlelight Hike at Minneopa State Park was a blast! The hike was sans-snow this year, but the views and company made for a cozy evening. The s'mores and hot chocolate helped too!

Thanks to Minneopa State Park, the Friends of Minneopa, and all the volunteers who make this event possible.

Experience one of Minnesota's favorite winter sports with Maverick Adventures. Our staff will provide transportation, instruction, and all the equipment you need to fish comfortably on the ice. This program is designed for participants to learn the basics, so no previous fishing experience is necessary. We will spend the day on Madison Lake; a favorite local spot to fish year-round for bass, walleye, crappie, pike, and more!
