Moores Creek National Battlefield - Fishing

In the early morning hours of February 27, 1776, Loyalist forces charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge. Beyond the bridge, nearly 1,000 North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. This battle marked the last broadsword charge by Scottish Highlanders and the first significant victory for the Patriots in the American Revolution.

This National Park System site offers various educational programming and reenactments for all ages, allowing visitors a glimpse into the culture and history of this location. Moores Creek runs through the grounds and holds a variety of fish, from small minnows to Bluegills, Crappies, and Bass. Bring your own fishing pole and check out our first fishing trail!
