  A great place to visit when traveling the Eastern Sierra. The kids love feeding the trout in the pond and the history and architecture of the building are fascinating.

  Super nice people, volunteers that are rebuilding and managing the hatchery. Please think about making a donation. Also I recommend buying some fish food and going to the trout pond, it's well stocked and includes some huge rainbow trout, including one absolute tank of a rainbow, by far the largest one I've ever seen.
