Desiree and I are presently in Great Falls because I have a teaching engagement here today. Yesterday, not long after arriving in Great Falls, we visited Giant Springs State Park, which is home to the Roe River. According to Wikipedia: “The Roe River runs from Giant Springs to the Missouri River near Great Falls, Montana, United States. The Roe River is only 201 feet (61 m) long at its longest constant point and had been named the World's Shortest River by the Guinness Book of World Records before Guinness eliminated the category in 2006.”
Desiree and I both enjoyed visiting
the park. We wandered around by the Roe River for a while and then visited a
public fish pool at the adjacent fish hatchery. The pool teemed with large
trout, which you can feed by purchasing a handful of fish food from one of the
coin-operated dispensers.
Below are photos from our visit to
the park. Unfortunately, I was unable to hold a can of Cold Smoke beer next to
the fish for a size reference, but many of them exceeded 24 inches in length
and are quite chubby from being fed by tourists.
