Glenwood Springs Hatchery
Glenwood Springs, CO
The Glenwood Springs Hatchery is located on Mitchell Creek, approximately 2 miles north of West Glenwood Springs. It is a cold water facility that raises rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, kokanee salmon, and arctic grayling. Each year, Glenwood Springs stocks around 3 million sub-catchable fish in the waters of northwest Colorado. The facility also has broodstocks (mature fish for egg production and fertilization) of rainbow and cutthroat trout. Many of the eggs produced are shipped to other state-operated fish hatcheries to be hatched, raised and stocked at various sizes.
