Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery is one of the largest U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hatcheries in the Nation. We raise a variety of fish species including walleye, Northern pike, trout, and The Chinook salmon. The hatchery is located directly below Lake Sakakawea on the banks of the Missouri River. If you enjoy outdoor recreation, plenty of opportunities exist in this area, including fishing, boating, birding, hiking, camping, hunting...it is all right here!
The hatchery staff relies on volunteers to conduct informative tours of the hatchery for our visitors. Tour groups range from a few visitors to bus loads of school kids anxious to see and learn about the hatchery. We like to involve our volunteers wherever possible which may be spawning fish, caring for trout or managing aquariums. We work with the volunteers to find a schedule that meets the needs of the visitor center. The Visitor Center is open from 10:00-3:00 everyday of the week from Memorial Day thru Labor Day.
Location in ND - The Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery is located in central North Dakota, an hour’s drive from Minot or Bismarck. It is only a couple miles from Riverdale and Pick City.

Mission Statement
Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the premier government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats. We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.
The agency includes both the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System.
The Service's origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study the decrease in the nation’s food fishes and recommend ways to reverse that decline. (More on our history below.) Today, we are a diverse and largely decentralized organization, employing about 8,000 dedicated professionals working out of facilities across the country.
