The Bonneville Fish Hatchery is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the conservation and preservation of fish species, particularly those native to the Columbia River basin. Established in 1909, this hatchery has a rich history of nurturing fish populations and contributing to sustainable fishing practices. It serves as a vital link in the chain of efforts to protect the delicate ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest.
Witness the miracle of fish reproduction at the Spawning Area. Specially designed channels allow adult fish to lay their eggs and milt, which are then carefully collected and incubated to ensure the survival of the next generation.
