Pendills Creek National Fish Hatchery

Pendills Creek National Fish Hatchery is a federal facility on the Lake Superior shoreline inside the Hiawatha National Forest, where lake trout are raised for restocking Lakes Huron and Michigan. Kids can walk through on a self-guided tour and see lake trout at different life stages, from eggs to yearlings, depending on the season. Guided tours can be arranged by calling the hatchery ahead of a visit. The surrounding national forest has trails for hiking and driving, plus a nearby Lake Superior beach worth a stop, making it easy to pair the hatchery visit with outdoor exploring.
