No 4th of July fireworks, but plenty of fish at Hesperia Lake Park

There won’t be any 4th of July fireworks at Hesperia Lake Park, but there will be plenty of fish ready for catching.

The Hesperia Recreation and Park District have announced that on Thursday, a crew will stock 2,000 pounds of catfish, with 75 specially tagged for merch, lanterns, hats, bottle openers and more.

From 12:30 to 4:30 p.m on Thursday, the lake store will be closed for inventory and to sell fishing wristbands or to redeem tagged fish.

Saturday is the statewide California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Free Fishing Day, however, Hesperia Lake will still charge regular fees. For more information, visit wildlife.ca.gov.

Hesperia Lake will be open for fishing and recreation on the 4th of July. Hesperia does not hold a firework celebration and fireworks are prohibited in all parks.

Fireworks are scheduled on Sept. 17, during the Hesperia Days celebration at the lake located at 7500 Arrowhead Lake Road.
