Here at Only In New York, we’ve subconsciously taken it upon ourselves to showcase all-things trout during the month of April. Down in Livingston Manor on June 8th, you can experience the quirky and wonderful Trout Parade that brings the entire town to life with massive River God and trout puppets – amongst other things! If you’re feeling anxious and can’t wait that long to enjoy a good old outing amongst your favorite fish, then we have another festival in store for you and it’s right around the corner.

Taking you just west of Lake George, the small town of Warrensburg is where you can find the Warren County Fish Hatchery.

Throughout the year, people from all over New York and our neighboring states come to learn more about the different kinds of trout and fish that are stocked in our local waterways.

This hatchery is far more than your average fish-based attraction though, the hatchery also has a Canoe Access Site as well as a playground for kids!
