Towpath Trail Trout Derby for Children

Event Details

Children 5-15 years old are invited to fish for rainbow trout, trophies, and lots of door prizes at the Jack Cullen Memorial Trout Derby along the historic Ohio & Erie Canal at Lock 4 Park south of Canal Fulton. The derby is sponsored by the Stark County Park District, Stark County Federation of Conservation Clubs, and the Berkley Fishing Team.  The 8-11 am event is free; adults may fish after the derby is over. No pre-registration required.

From Rt. 21, take Rt. 93 into Canal Fulton. Turn south on Canal Street, which becomes Erie Avenue as you leave the city. Lock 4 Park will be on your right if you are driving south.

Plan to spend the afternoon at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Canton Classic Car Museum, First Ladies Library, or Discover World at the McKinley Museum and Monument. You can also rent bicycles or canoe the Tuscarawas River.
