Neosho National Fish Hatchery-Hearrell Spring Unit Tours

We stopped here hoping to see more fish but we didn't. Instead, we saw a couple of dogs that had jumped into one of the ponds. They kept barking and I noticed they wanted to get out but couldn't. After waving a couple of the employees down, we were able to help the dogs out. One was super grateful and wanted to jump on me but I ran because I didn't want to get wet. The other dog wasn't too happy with us but we got to see them both run away together. Who else can say they got to save two cute dogs at a hatchery? :)

8.6/10 Excellent! (654 reviews)
The Staff were outstanding. The room was clean. It is close to I-44, and if freeway noise doesn't bother you then this is your hotel. It is close to all the conveniences one expects in a city. There is a police car at the entrance as this is a truck stop. So extremely safe.
