The hatchery is the gateway to the Clark’s creek trail system and local park and welcomes visitors year-round during daylight hours. You are welcome to come walk the trails and enjoy the beautiful park-like property of this wonderful and historic treasure. The onsite Educational Center is open on Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm and staffed by volunteers. Each October, the hatchery hosts a Salmon Homecoming to welcome the salmon returning to Clarks Creek.
