This is a beautiful place to visit. For us its a great place as we totally enjoy the outdoors. The fish are awesome just to look at if your a little stressed out or just need to relax.
What a fun place to wander and have a picnic! You can go out on the walkway over the springs and see the water bubbling up. The short trip through the interpretive display for the hatchery is also neat.
love the fish hatchery and feeding the fish.The water is so crystal clear here,it makes you want to dive in.

The water is so clean and clear because of the springs that feed it that it makes for beautiful floral and easy to see the fish. Even though the hatchery was not open for viewing, it is still worth the stop to see.
Our good friend had their wedding here and you could not ask for a more beautiful setting! Lots of room, great areas for photos and not at great expense.
At sunset was a good time to visit. The snow was all around, obvious trails of sledding were left over's of the day's fun that had been had by younger visitors. It was quiet, the fishermen were packing up their poles and catches (big trout). And the birds were settling in for the night. Many Canada gees and one lone...
