You rolling eyeballs... "Wow", you might be thinking. "A fish hatchery. Let's go look at a fish hatchery on our vacation... Uhhh, no."
But wait, dear Yelp reader! This is no normal fish hatchery! Oh no, this is a beautiful, bucolic, garden filled, estate looking, ridiculously delicious fruit smoothie slurping odyssey where you'll even be able to view a living creature left over from the Triassic!
Meet Herman the Sturgeon. Herman is about 11 feet long. He's a big boy. He lives with his buddies, some big, some small, in a large, beautiful fishing hole that looks like it's been ripped out of virgin forest.
You'll also see beautiful gardens, forest ponds filled with huge rainbow trout, a nice gift shop which serves delicious smoothies, a small theater with an interesting informative movie, gorgeous trees, and of course, a fish hatchery with literally millions and millions of small fry just waiting for their chance to swim down river.
And it's all free.
It's an interesting, peaceful, fun for kids and nice for adults place to get away from the ridiculous waterfall crowds.
And BTW, they also have some of the most beautiful, green, lush, thick lawns I've seen anywhere. A great place for a picnic. so go!
