This is a chinook and coho salmon hatchery. Display ponds also offer a relaxing
place to feed large rainbow trout and view adult white sturgeon measuring more
than six feet long. There is a gift shop open during summer months. Interpretive
displays inside and out, including a viewing area to watch fall spawning
activities. Outside accessible restrooms.
Bonneville Hatchery was constructed in 1909 and was originally funded
by the State
of Oregon. In 1957 the facility was remodeled and expanded
as part of the Columbia
River Fisheries Development Program (Mitchell
Act). The hatchery underwent
another renovation in 1974 as part of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's mitigation
of fish losses from the construction
of the John Day Dam. This hatchery provides
fish for the ocean and river
fisheries and eggs to other programs. Neighboring
Bonneville Dam also
has a visitor center. Tours are available.
