Our founder Bob enjoys helping
children catch their very first
Trout!

|
Thanks for your interest in Spring Valley
Trout farm.
|
We are family owned and operated celebrating our
38th
anniversary this year. Visitors enjoy a guided tour of a working fish farm. This
informative educational tour is enjoyed by all ages. It is a hands-on experience where
different species of fish are highlighted from fingerlings to adults. The tour includes a
modern production system called raceways, where visitors learn firsthand how fish are
farmed and even get to hand feed the small fingerling trout.
|
|
|
A minimum
of 20 people fishing is required to qualify for the group rate.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a
group outing, please contact or call Jim or Jeanie at (734) 426-4772.
Our farm is open from May 3, until the end of September and is available 5 days a week
with advance reservations.

It's a lovely setting with accommodations
for the handicapped.
|
Spring Valley sits on
20 acres of carefully maintained
grounds in a park setting. Visitors can stroll the park, which includes 9 spring fed ponds
ranging from a 1/2 acre to an acre in size. On these grounds are located two
covered picnic
pavilions which seat up to 100 people each, children's play areas,
volleyball court, and an authentic American
log cabin, (a replica of fishing cabins from the north) used as a fishing lodge with Handicap restrooms.
