Visit the Springfield Trout Farm, shady and cool: "The people who work there are so nice and accommodating. we bring our scouts here every year. they have so much fun. For most of them this is their first fishing experience. I like how they can have that first experience in a controlled environment. And they are guaranteed to catch a fish. It is worth the trip to have that kind of positive and educational experience".
