Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery

Built in 1937 by the U.S. Forest Service, the fish hatchery is managed today by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The station produces one million trout each year, which are stocked into tailwaters, streams and lakes of North Georgia. Tour the hatchery, fish in Rock Creek or picnic in public areas. Camping is available near by at Frank Gross Campground and the Deep Hole Recreation Area, operated by the Toccoa Ranger District, 706-632-3031. Directions: Take Georgia 60 south from Morganton for 15 miles. Turn right on Forest Service Road 69 to the hatchery.
