What a serene and peaceful place. It was such a learning experience but at the same time a place to wander and relax. I’ve never been to a fish hatchery so learning about the benefits of one was awesome. Bring quarters because there is two ponds where you get to feed some Rainbow trouts. They don’t have a change machine. This place is very scenic and very educational. Definitely put this on your list to check out when you are in the Portland area.

Hands down the best hatchery I have visited, very well laid out and scenic, with added value of the large sturgeon. Gift shop on site and a few historic elements to view. Plenty of parking, including larger spaces for those pulling trailers.

The Bonneville Fish Hatchery is one of the most fascinating places to visit to see up close a fish hatchery operation. In addition to the hatchery is the sturgeon pool area where you can see these prehistoric fish up close. During this visit there were 8 to 10,000 salmon coming over Bonneville dam and headed upriver to spawn. The grounds here are quite nice with easy access, plenty of parking, and picnic areas. Definitely a fun place to visit.

My husband went here as a child, and it was just as wonderful as he remembered! He was so happy to see that Herman, the massive sturgeon, was still around, even after 10 years since his last visit here! I made a video about this on my YouTube channel if you’re interested in seeing the size of Herman! ♥️

Sturgeons are fish, they evolved alongside dinosaurs in the Triassic period, but are a separate classification. What was left of the dinosaurs evolved into birds of today.

are we allowed to film the salmon under water with a go pro? I'm making an 8th grade project and it is a documentary about the life cycle of a salmon. If not, that's fine. Thank you! -Keagan

No, but there may be members of the local tribes selling some around Cascade locks

Did this area get hit when the fires went through there? I have been worried about this whole area and all of the fish/sturgeon there.

Andrea Coones | Aug 16, 2019

Bonneville did get some of the fires, but the hatchery is just fine and so are the fish.

It's a pretty open area so i would assume it's ok as long as the dog is on a leash.

Does it cost to go check this out?

Totally free, and great. You can bring quarters to use to buy fish food and feed them. Fun for younger ones.
