“This place is a little out of whichever way you're going on highway 83 but WORTH THE DRIVE! Not only is the scenery beautiful but it's FREE! And you get a free tour! I never realized how many different fish there are. The best part about this is it's all about conservation! Our tour guide was a German volunteer! Please visit this place and ALL fish hatcheries EVERY WHERE along any trips you take! It is amazing to see how hard the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service works with volunteers to preserve, protect and breed endangered fish! Definitely worth the visit!!!!”
“It was very educational and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything, we got to feed some fish and pet some fish. We got to see an albino trout in one of the holding tanks, very awesome. We will most definitely be going back and recommending to other people to take the tour , it's free so you have absolutely nothing to lose 😻”
“Amazing little place! Great staff! We had such a wonderful time there, you can go on a self guided tour, but the staff was willing to take us through and teach us all about what they do. Wonderful experience!”
“Tour guides were great. Very informative. Nice to see all the work that goes into keeping our lakes stocked.”
“Wow! What a great tour! Toni was an excellent guide and really made it so fun! Thank you!”
