White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery information


White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service facility located along the historic Midland Trail in the Allegheny Highlands of southeast West Virginia. Established in 1900[1] or 1902[2] to produce fish for the American public, the fish hatchery became part of the National Broadstock Program in 1976. In 1995, a freshwater mussel conservation program was added.[1]

The hatchery's mission is to provide recreational fishing, and recovers fish, mussels, and other wildlife. It aims to promote the appreciation of natural resources.[1] It ships millions of rainbow trout eggs to hatcheries across the United States every year.[2] [3] Surplus rainbow trout are released into West Virginia waterways.[4]

In 2016, Greenbrier County, West Virginia was affected by flooding, including the hatchery. 15,000 adult rainbow trout brood stock were lost and it took two years for the facility to recover.[2]
