Visiting D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery

The D.C. Booth hatchery was in commercial operation from 1896 until 1983, providing trout stock for lakes in the Black Hills and throughout the country.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service took over the property in 1989 and has since turned the property into a living history museum to interpret the rich history of our national fish hatcheries and fish culture.

Today, anyone can visit this historic site, which is still in operation as a hatchery. The D.C. Booth National Historic Fish Hatchery still provides trout to stock Black Hills lakes for fishers.
