The New Hampton Fish Hatchery is one of the six fish hatcheries operated by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. It produces trout and salmon for stocking lakes, ponds, and rivers in the state. The hatchery is over 100 years old and is part of a project to modernize and improve the facilities and water quality of the hatchery system. The New Hampton Fish Hatchery is open to the public and offers educational tours and exhibits.

New Hampshire’s Fish and Game fish hatcheries are a great place to learn about how fish are hatched and reared. These facilities raise nearly a million trout each year! Hatcheries are open year-round, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Outdoor fish viewing is available throughout the year. Guided hatchery tours are available by reservation. You’ll enjoy meeting our dedicated, hardworking hatchery staff, who not only understand the technical challenges of raising fish.
