Carson National Fish Hatchery

The Carson National Fish Hatchery is a fish hatchery located 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Carson in Skamania County, Washington, in the United States. It is about 60 miles (97 km) east of Portland, Oregon. It is managed and operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Like other components of the National Fish Hatchery System, the hatchery's mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats, as well to cooperate with like-minded partners to further these goals. Specifically, the hatchery produces spring Chinook salmon for stocking in the Wind River, a tributary of the Columbia River, as well as Chinook salmon eggs for hatching at other fish hatcheries.
