Castalia State Fish Hatchery is a wonderful destination for families, especially those with children. Visitors can enjoy feeding the rainbow trout, which eagerly eat out of their hands, making it a fun experience for all ages. The beautiful surroundings include the blue hole aquifer, providing a scenic backdrop for a leisurely walk. Many families appreciate the opportunity to gather old bread to feed the fish, and the area is perfect for picnicking. Open houses and tours are available at times, adding to the charm of this nature-filled location. Overall, it’s a great place to connect with nature and enjoy quality time with loved ones.
We came too late ti see the fish in the hatchery, but the blue lake was amazing to see. Feeding bread to the trout at the entrance was awesome and amusing. Definately a must see.

When I went there they were closed but right in front of the gate was a little river that had a lot of large steelhead trout in it. I do plan on going again when they are open
