Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery

For 131 years, a hatchery at Craig Brook has produced fish for anglers. A federal national fish hatchery since 1889, Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery has returned to hatching Atlantic salmon to replenish seven Maine rivers ? a total of more than 2 million young salmon in the past year. Visitors to the hatchery will see exhibits about the environment and the survival of Maine?s Atlantic salmon. A stream model with running water features live young salmon. The hatchery greets local visitors, including schoolchildren, and both nationwide and international visitors.

Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery is located on Hatchery Road, 5 miles north of Bucksport and just off Route 1.
