The Lakewood Rearing Station (33 16E-21) is located south of John Lake just north of Lakewood in Oconto County. This rearing station has a large rearing house that is directly connected with an intricate system of concrete raceways and natural ponds. The buildings are in average condition, but the raceways seem to be very well-kept. The rearing station is highlighted with a huge stone fireplace that is constructed in a rustic style.
