Anyone interested in fishing or wildlife will enjoy a visit to the Pequest Trout Hatchery. Originally founded in 1981, the center offers visitors a look at how 600,000 species of trout are raised each year for the stocking of over 200 lakes, rivers, streams and ponds located in New Jersey. A video shows the trout operation from egg gathering to stocking and a self guided tour allows visitors to see the actual trout being raised. An exhibit hall contains live fish as well as a display of mounted wildlife specimens. They have several educational interactive displays, hiking trails, picnic areas and free literature.
