National Fishing and Boat week is June 3-11th and a good excuse if
you need one to get out and fish. There are lots of events across North Carolina especially for kids.
As part of the week long celebration the City of Rockingham will hold a Grand Opening for Lake Hinson on June 8th.
The grand opening ceremony, which begins at 10:30 a.m., is open to the public and highlights the numerous improvements the City of Rockingham and the Commission have made to Hinson Lake and the 216 acres that surround the lake, according to a press release from the N. C. Wildlife and Resources Commission.
ìFor those who have not seen Hinson Lake, they will be awed at the sheer beauty of the lake and its surroundings,î McLaurin said.
Among the improvements are a 300-foot wooden bridge that connects more than 2.5 miles of scenic walking trails; a lodge with a meeting room, kitchen facilities, covered deck, picnic tables and outdoor patio with gas grill; a universally accessible fishing pier and solar-powered fish feeders to attract fish.
Lake Hinson will also become part of the Community Fishing Program and the Tackle Loaner Program which are two great programs for increasing fishing opportunities for young and old alike.
