The hatchery rears brown trout (Salmo trutta) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) for the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division's stockable and fingerling trout programs. The trout range in size from just a few inches long to the "Show and Tell" fish, which weigh more than 10 pounds.

The hatchery produces trout for Georgia's traditional stocking season, the Delayed Harvest and "Big Fish" programs, as well as a number of fingerling stockings.

The Hatchery Nature/Bird Trail
Visitors can walk along the Hatchery's Nature/Bird Trail. The trailoffers visitors the opportunity to see a number of bird species. The hatchery is located below Lake Lanier and adjacent to the Chattahoochee River. The hatchery's proximity to the river draws large numbers of transient and breeding song birds.

The trail terminates in a boardwalk and viewing platform that overlooks a beaver swamp. Waterfowl and occasional upland birds can be viewed from the platform.
Note: The fishing pond is no loner available and self-guided tours are only available
