Saratoga National Fish Hatchery

The Saratoga National Fish Hatchery (NFH) was established in 1914 and has primarily served as an egg producing facility for most of its years of operation. The hatchery maintains the back-up broodstock for the McConaughy rainbow trout. We are also involved in rearing and breeding the endangered Wyoming toad for reintroduction into the wild.

We are open year round, seven days a week, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and provide guided group tours upon advanced request. Fish spawning activities can be observed from the end of September through October.
