Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery is nestled deep in the heart of the North Georgia mountains, approximately 75 miles north of Atlanta. Surrounded by the 749,444 acre Chattahoochee National Forest, the hatchery occupies a 44.8 acre tract of land straddling Mill Creek and Rock Creek, which are tributaries of the Toccoa River.
The hatchery produces about one million rainbow trout each year. These fish are stocked into tailwaters, streams and lakes of Northern Georgia in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Corps of Engineers, Tennessee Valley Authority, and the U.S. Forest Service.
Getting there
Travel Hwy. 60 to Suches, Georgia. From Suches, continue another 11 miles on Hwy. 60 North. Turn left on Rock Creek Road. Hatchery is located 5 miles on right. Rock Creek Road is also FS 69. The first mile is maintained by Fannin County and is paved. The rest of the road is maintained by the U.S. Forest Service and is unpaved.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 9.9 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
