SPRING VALLEY: THE ULTIMATE FISHING SPOT FOR ALL AGES!
You catch your own fish from our spring-fed, pollution-free ponds that are stocked weekly with fish grown right on the farm. Fish in our Farm-Raised Channel Catfish ponds or Rainbow Trout pond. There is even a Children's Trout pond reserved for our little anglers under 10 years old. The environment is so perfect in our ponds, we can even guarantee a catch on every outing!
FAMILY ATMOSPHERE
|
Our customers appreciate the family atmosphere. We're a landmark for folks who want their kids to be sure they can catch a fish. Remember, when a loved one took you fishing the first time. Memories you will always cherish. We can help create memories, for you to treasure with your children, by guaranteeing they actually catch a Trout, to brag about! Be sure to check out our gallery for the latest photos of successful fishermen.

WE'RE ACTUALLY A PARK WHERE YOU CAN CATCH FISH
|
Spring Valley sits on 20 acres of carefully maintained grounds in a park setting. Visitors can stroll the park which includes nine spring-fed ponds ranging from a half-acre to an acre in size. On these grounds are two covered picnic pavilions which seat up to 100 people each, a children's play area and an authentic American log cabin used as a fishing lodge with handicap restrooms.
