National Fish Hatchery

Fodor's Review:

At the National Fish Hatchery, Chinook salmon are released into the river in the hope they will return someday to spawn and keep the species alive while still providing fish to catch. Even if nothing's spawning, the view of millions of eggs in the nursery or thousands of small, four-inch "fries" wriggling in the aquarium is something to see.
