Rainbow lake houses a beautiful on-site natural spring pond encapsulated by a concrete wall. No fishing is allowed in our lake, but we do allow feeding. If you want to know about our very own rainbow trout pond in Ruidoso, we have the information you need. We stock our pond with rainbow trout from a local farm fishery. This local rainbow trout hatchery sells us small trout and we give them a large home in our very own rainbow lake.
