We are very pleased to announce the 2015 Top 100 Places to Fish and Boat in the U.S! More than 23,000 outdoors enthusiasts cast their votes and helped us to develop this year's list. The America's Top Places to Fish and Boat Sweepstakes received over 280,000 votes for almost 250 parks across the country. The criteria for the Top 100 places included having a public body of water within an hour of a major city, good fishing opportunities, and family-friendly amenities.

We asked, you answered, and now it's time to share! You can view the Top 10 voted parks and the entire Top 100 list here!
