Description
The Paris Fish Hatchery was the second Michigan fish hatchery. Opened in 1881, it supplied salmon and brown trout fingerlings to the state. It was expanded and renovated by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the mid-193o’s and operated until 1964. After closing, it was acquired by the Mecosta County Park Commission and reopened as a park in 1976.
