About Us
The 160 acre site lies 2 miles south of the town of Leavenworth, Washington on Icicle Road. The Leavenworth NFH is open to visitors year-round. People can enjoy a guided or self-guided tour throughout the facility and grounds. The hatchery is currently raising spring Chinook salmon and part of the year coho salmon are reared in conjunction with the Yakama Nation. Leavenworth NFH is well known for its scenic landscape and recreational and educational programs. Visitors can enjoy such outdoor activities as viewing wildlife, walking on the Icicle Creek Nature Trail, environmental education activities, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and more. Leavenworth NFH is the home of the annual award winning Wenatchee River Salmon Festival held each September. This event and many of our outdoor education programs would not be possible without the support of our Partners. Please call 509-548-7641 for more information about group tours and dates of hatchery activities and special events. |

The Leavenworth NFH is one of three hatcheries (Leavenworth, Entiat and Winthrop) that comprise the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery Complex (LNFHC). The Complex facilities were constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation as fish mitigation facilities for the construction of Grand Coulee Dam.
