If you love fishing, or just want to know a little more about a favorite species in Michigan, then a quick trip to a hatchery may help you better understand more about this popular pastime. 

The Harrietta State Fish Hatchery near Cadillac is a major rainbow and brown trout rearing facility, producing millions of fish for re-introduction into Michigan waterways, with a combined economic impact of between 5-11 million dollars annually.  The facility boasts well water fed tanks to help populate the species, as well as an interpretive room to provide information on local watersheds, a viewing room, and hands on learning opportunities. 

The hatchery is free and open to the public all week long.  For more information visit Harrietta Fish Hatchery.
