NATURAL BRIDGE, Va. – If you’re looking for something fun for the kiddos to do this spring, the Natural Bridge State Park is set to hold its annual Kids Fishing Day next month.

On Saturday, April 5, from 7 a.m. to noon at Cedar Creek, kids interested in fishing can explore the joys of reeling in a big one. Children 12 and younger can fish for free, and they can keep up to six fish. They will need to have their own pole, bait and gear to participate.
