Waterfowl Hunting Season Begins at Highline Lake State Park

Waterfowl hunting season begins September 26 at Highline Lake!  Hunters must use one of seven designated blinds at the north end of Highline Lake.   Hunting is allowed Monday through Friday ONLY; no weekends! The first split for ducks and coots ends October 10, and the second split runs from November 3 to January 29, 2012.  Geese may be taken through October 2, and again November 4 through January 30, 2012.  Youth days are October 15 and 16.  New for 2011, regulations allow reservations for each of the seven blinds at Highline Lake by calling 1-800-846-9453.
