Fish Hatchery

Fish Hatchery

Fish Hatchery, situated in Willow Beach, Arizona, is an integral part of the National Fish Hatchery system, contributing to the nationwide effort to improve recreational fishing and restore endangered aquatic species. Since 1959, Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery has played a vital role in the conservation landscape, strategically located 11 miles below the Hoover Dam within the scenic Lake Mead National Recreation Area. As a testament to their commitment, the hatchery collaborates with states and Tribes, working towards the preservation, restoration, and enhancement of fish and aquatic resources across America.

Expanding their impact, Fish Hatchery operates the Achii Hanyo Native Fish Rearing Facility, established in 1996 on the lands of the Colorado River Indian Tribes. Positioned ten and a half miles southwest of Parker, Arizona, this satellite station amplifies their conservation efforts, extending their reach and influence. Fish Hatchery takes pride in its role as stewards of aquatic ecosystems, dedicating itself to the resilience of endangered species and the overall health of American waters. Joining forces with a rich legacy dating back to 1871, Fish Hatchery remains steadfast in its mission to shape the future of recreational fishing and biodiversity preservation for generations to come.
