Little Red River

The Little Red River is on the other side of the dam. The water in the river is SO COLD! Jackson didn't believe us - until he got in! He couldn't stay in it very long. The water in this pic looks green - but it is crystal clear. The green you see is the covering of the plants on the bottom of the river. It feels great when a breeze blows - the air is cool - even on a hot day! It was so nice there!!
The Trout Hatchery is right next to the river. We stopped by there and saw SO MANY trout!! We saw the little fingerling trout that were inside the hatchery - and then we went outside and walked through the many tanks of trout. There are lots of tanks of medium size fish - and there are two tanks full of HUGE trout!! We got a kick of waving our hands over the tanks and the fish all started flopping around and gulping at the surface . . . they thought they were getting fed! When we walked by, we could fool them ONE time. . . the first time we waved our hands they all jumped. . . if we did it again - they didn't even move!
