To achieve this, the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery was constructed in 1975. This is one of the most recently constructed hatcheries in the federal hatchery system.

This station currently produces approximately 1,000,000 trout weighing 230,000 pounds. In cooperation with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, fish are stocked into 90 different public waters in the state. No private waters are stocked. The majority of the fish are stocked in waters controlled by the federal government.

The primary responsibility of the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery is to raise rainbow trout to preserve the fishing tradition for present as well as future generations.

Visitors are welcome to tour the Hatchery and to fish in the creek below the Hatchery.

Restrooms, drinking water, and parking areas are provided for public use. During your visit, please feel free to ask any questions you may have concerning the Hatchery.
