The Warren County Fish Hatchery Welcome to the Warren County Fish Hatchery. We are operated by the Parks and Recreation of the Warren County DPW. The hatchery has been in operation since the early 1900's, but Warren County obtained the facility from New York State in 1982. Since then we have enjoyed great success in raising brook and rainbow trout. A brief history of the hatchery can be seen in the time line below |
| The property consists of 72 acres, including an island on the Hudson River across from the parking lot. Aside from the hatchery, these grounds offer a sheltered picnic area with restrooms, a children's play area and canoe access site, as well as sport facilities for softball, basketball, volleyball and horseshoes. This area has quickly become a favorite spot for picnickers and fisherman alike! |

The
fish raised here provide improved sport fishing thought Warren County
waters. Domestic strains of rainbow
and brook trout (raised in hatcheries for several generations) are
stocked every spring as yearlings, but
are actually about 1 1/2 years old. These fish are typically up
to 12 inches long and can weigh 1/2 pound each. Wild
strains of brook trout, some of which come from our brood
stock, are stocked as fingerlings each fall. These fish
are 3 to 4 inches long and will grow to 9 inches
by spring. Please refer to our stocking list for more information
on location and numbers.
