The Homestead has private water. It is catch and release only and I suspect that beyond just stocking it they are actively putting food in there. I have never seen so many fish in such a small amount of water. It's a little trickle of a stream in dense forest, maybe three to five feet wide with pools every thirty feet or so, and each pool has at least three hundred trout in it. I'm exaggerating, but it did remind me of the story about the Hudson before Europeans showed up, that you could walk across it on the backs of the sturgeons. There is no need for waders, and you would do best with a very short, light rod. I was fishing Tenkara there and ironically it was almost impossible to get a good cast because of all the low branches. Even doing slingshot casts, which I consider cheating, I would hit trees on the wrong side of the pool. You're probably not doing Tenkara but if you are bring your shortest line. Fun and challenging fishing. Also the Homestead is a really nice place, great for a weekend getaway.
