The outdoor facilities are open to visitors during daylight hours 7 days a week, year round. Fingerlings and older fish live in the outdoor raceways. You can also walk along Mill Creek, which flows net to the Hatchery raceways, and enjoy a picnic on the banks of Jessup Mill Pond across the road from the hatchery, where you may see an osprey or kingfisher returning to its next.
The hatchery building is open from 8:00 to 4:00 daily. You are welcome to step inside and learn about the history of the hatchery. Larger visitor groups can arrange for guided tours of hatchery facilities by calling in advance.
