Took a break in the middle of the Reverse Babe to explore the hatchery. I've never been here before, and there's quite a bit to see. The visitor center has some neat artifacts, there are a lot of interpretive signs, and a GFD Ranger gives a full tour of the facility, providing interesting facts and answering questions along the way. It was a nice break before hiking back up to the Lake.

Unfortunately, fishing is prohibited :( and they don't allow you to put your hands in the water either. I would have liked to get some underwater photos/video in the raceways. There are a bunch of fat, delicious-looking fish ready for late-season stocking in the lakes and creeks of Arizona! :)

Nice flow near the hatchery. Some nice cascades, and pools deep enough to wade in if so desired.
