The Fish Hatchery

Leadville National Fish Hatchery provides many exciting visitor opportunities while giving back to our local communities. Visit the hatchery for a close-up view of the fish production process. With over 36,000 visitors annually, the dedicated volunteer hosts at the Visitor Center bring the hatchery experience alive.

It’s free to go, but bring quarters! There are vending machines to purchase fish food to feed the fish. Along with the hatchery is a network of trails for hiking, running or snowshoeing. It’s a great place for kids and adults.
