Creston National Fish Hatchery is closed to the public due to construction starting 10-8-2008

The Nature Trail is open and visitors can park by the offices.
We will be open for hatchery tours in the spring of 2009

Established in 1939, Creston NFH originally provided fingerling trout for stocking waters in Glacier National Park. Today, the hatchery has three main purposes: provide trout for fishery management activities on the seven Tribal Reservations in Montana; stock fish for mitigation purposes under the Hungry Horse Dam Mitigation Program; and produce native bull trout eggs and fry for research projects at various State, Federal, and educational facilities through the Federal Broodstock Program.
