Visit Gates of the Mountains: Open Water Fishing

The Gates of the Mountains opens today at 7:30 a.m. for fishing, but visitors must bring exact change due to seasonal closures of facilities. Weather-related updates will be provided.

No more frozen lake—for now—which means great news for visitors. The gate at Gates of the Mountains will, starting today, be open at 7:30 a.m. and remain open until sunset, allowing access for fishing. Visitors are asked to bring exact change, as the block building and fuel island remain closed for the season. Any closures due to weather conditions will be announced as updates become available.
