Gnat Creek Fish Hatchery, established in 1960, is a vital facility aimed at enhancing declining fish runs in the Columbia River Basin through egg incubation and rearing of spring Chinook salmon and winter steelhead. Nestled along Highway 30, it offers a family-friendly environment with various recreational activities set against the backdrop of a beautiful rainforest.
Visitors can enjoy a show pond featuring larger rainbow trout and sturgeon, along with nature trails that wind through the surrounding Clatsop State Forest. The hatchery also serves as an educational hub, hosting numerous school visits and tours to promote awareness of salmon lifecycle and conservation efforts.
