Mammoth Spring National Fish Hatchery was established in 1903 in the Ozark foothills because of the cool flowing water from the spring and easy access to the railroad. Their current programs include recovery of endangered and threatened species like freshwater mussels and the restoration of Gulf Coast striped bass and rainbow trout. They also produce lake sturgeon, walleye, largemouth bass, golden shiner, and threadfin shad!
