Facility Activities
Allegheny National Fish Hatchery is on the Allegheny River. Though fishing is not permitted in the hatchery, it provides shore angler access, when requested to a designated area of the Allegheny River. Fishing downstream from the Kinzua Dam yields some of the largest freshwater fish (trout, walleye, bass, muskellunge) in North America. No bird blind is currently available, however there are frequent sightings on site. Species such as bald eagles, killdeer, osprey, mallards and swallows are common occurrences for viewing.
The hatchery has two public parking areas for anglers, birders and tours. Adjacent to the hatchery, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provides a fishing platform and comfort station.
