Event details
Along the pond’s edge is vegetation, leaves and good old muck. It makes the perfect habitat for aquatic insects, tadpoles, crayfish and more! Join a naturalist to discover what lies beneath the surface of the ponds at Hidden Lakes Trout Farm. We will arm you with nets and teach you what to look for so you can catch all the squirmy critters. End the safari with an icy treat from the Tackle Box concession stand.
