Please browse through our Calendar to check out what's already happened and what is ahead!
Spring
- Trout Fishing Competition, was held on Saturday April 10th, 8:30 AM to Noon. The Third Annual "Get Hooked on Belvidere" Trout Fishing Tournament is a Springtime highlight. Over seventy anglers trolled the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers and enjoyed a local Spring time tradition. Cash prizes were offered for the biggest catch. The haul was especially rich since New Jersey's fish hatchery is just up the road. Each registrant received a special event T-shirt.
