The Fish Hatchery Traditional Cache

The Matinecock Indians, who originally occupied this place, called the area Wawapex, which means “place of good water” Eventually it was named Cold Spring Harbor because there were naturally cold freshwater springs that flow in the area. Founded in 1883 as a state facility, the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery now serves as a non-profit organization dedicated to providing environmental education about the aquatic resources of New York.

This unique facility houses New York State's largest collection of native freshwater fish, reptiles, and amphibians. It offers many interesting exhibits, including forty Aquariums with over sixty species of New York freshwater fish, an outdoor Turtle Habitat and indoor Turtle Room, amphibians and an indoor Stream Exhibit. Thousands of trout are still hatched here every year, and visitors can witness the process through six outdoor rearing pools that hold the fish in various stages of development. The good thing about this spot is that there are (usually) no muggles and you don't have to pay the entrance fee for the hatchery.

  Please put the camo item back in its proper place and in perfect alignment, so that the next finder can have a challenge as well. (there's no need to move the smaller, secondary part) If you get stuck on this "one", the name of a nearby cache might help.  BYOP because I only had 5/16 of an inch to work with!
