A beautiful fish hatchery/park that kids love. There is a "below deck" viewing area to see the trout underwater and different holding tanks to see the fish at different stages of life. In the summer the hatchery has beautiful gardens, the largest is all the way at the back next to the original homestead where you can tour the house, fish transporting train car and boat.
