Hudson River Park's Big City Fishing

This summer, join us to make a fish wish — you might just get a bite! Over 200 species of fish are found in the Hudson River, including over 85 species in HRPK’s Estuarine Sanctuary waters. Anglers ages 5 and up are invited to participate at this catch-and-release program, with guardian supervision required. Our River Project team provides all the necessary equipment and an on-site fishing tutorial.

Registration is not required and participation is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Beginners and experts alike are encouraged to join Big City Fishing for a relaxing and educational experience at the water’s edge.
