Kooskia National Fish Hatchery is located in beautiful north central Idaho. The hatchery is operated by the Nez Perce Tribe on behalf of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and produces 600,000 spring Chinook salmon annually. In late summer, visitors can see returning adult salmon at the Clear Creek trap, or see their young being cared for throughout the year. The hatchery is located on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, and tribal anglers often fish below the hatchery using traditional fishing methods. Employees are happy to answer questions any time, and can provide a tour with advance notice.
Getting there
Kooskia National Fish Hatchery is located 2 miles east of Kooskia on Clear Creek Road. Take either bridge exit off Highway 12 and follow the posted signs to the main hatchery entrance. Hatchery hours are daily 7:30am to 4pm. Closed major holidays.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 4.3 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
