Branson is a beautiful place to visit and while everyone knows about the shows that line old highway 76, not everyone is aware of some of the less costly things to do away from the hustle and bustle. Table Rock and Taneycomo Lakes are icons of Branson, and near the dam is a hidden gem: Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery.
This is where the lives of millions of Trout begin before they are released into the well known Taneycomo.... where many come from afar to wet a fly and fish their famous waters. Here you can see fish breeding in action and learn about the importance of each step during development.
The hatchery also has a few other creatures available for viewing such as several species of snake that call Missouri their home.
While the hatchery visit is entirely free, make sure to bring some quarters so you can toss a handful of fish food into the water and watch the Trout swarm to the surface. This afternoon outing will be sure to delight the young and old alike.
