This marker is at the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery at the base of Table Rock Dam. According to the folks at both the hatchery and the tour guide on the tour of the dam, the hatchery was planned and built in conjunction with the construction of the dam. The engineers realized that the water below the dam would be cold water favored by trout. So the hatchery was built right there beyond the power plant. The hatchery is now administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
