Bonnevill Fish Hatchery

This is a quaint stop off of I-84 east of Portland. There are signs to follow and it is a great educational opportunity especially for any kids you might have along.

Here you will have the chance to mix fins with some of the oldest living fish on the planet. Sturgeon live to be decades old and grow to enormous sizes. Here you will have the chance to see the fish as well as feed them and interact with their care takers.

In addition to the sturgeon there are trout and salmon to view as well. This is a great place to stop for a picnic, take a walk and enjoy the outdoors in a very fun, very safe way. This is an accessible stop for those in wheel chairs and for those with kids in strollers. Plus it is dirt cheap and easy to find.
