As a participant of the Urban Fishing Program of the Department of Natural Resources, the Lake View Nature Center has a number of fishing poles that can be signed out, free of charge. Those between the ages of 15 and 64 must have the proper licensure. Be sure to bring your own bait. And please, no corn or minnows. Contact the Nature Center (630/941-8747) for further rules and regulations.

The Nature Center does offer organized fishing programs for groups. These programs meet the requirements for Wolf Scout, Junior Scout and Junior Girl Scout badge work. Bait is included with staff led programs. Contact the Nature Center (630/941-8747) for more information.
