Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery
The Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery is located in Leavenworth, Washington, and was established in 1940. It plays a crucial role in the conservation and restoration of native fish species, particularly the Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. The hatchery produces millions of fish each year to support local ecosystems and recreational fishing.
Visitors to the hatchery can learn about fish life cycles and the importance of aquatic habitats. The facility features educational displays and offers guided tours, making it a valuable resource for understanding fish conservation efforts in the Columbia River Basin.
