Hidden Lakes Trout Farm Bait Shop Open For Memorial Day

BOLINGBROOK, IL — If you're looking to enjoy the outdoors this Memorial Day, the Hidden Lakes Trout Farm Tackle Box bait shot will be open on Monday.

According to the preserve, all of its visitor centers will be closed on Monday, but the preserves, trails, dog parks and bait shops will be open.

The Forest Preserve's two bait shops, one in Monee and one in Bolingbrook, will be open on Memorial Day, so anglers who want to take advantage of the holiday can spend their day fishing, the preserve said.

The Hidden Lakes Trout Farm Tackle Box bait shop at Hidden Oaks Preserve in Bolingbrook, which sells bait, tackle and food, will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

State fishing licenses can be purchased at both sites. Both concessions buildings also have free fishing poles to check out courtesy of an Illinois Department of Natural Resources program.
