About this campground

Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery was established in 1965 to mitigate for fishery resources which were lost due to the construction of federal water development projects in the Southeast. This is accomplished by stocking rainbow, brown, lake, and brook trout in waters impacted by federal dams. Stocking trout in public waters supports a significant recreational fishery which generates a substantial amount of economic activity for local and regional economies. This facility is also involved in the conservation of imperiled, freshwater, non-game fishes, and mussels

Getting there

Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery is located approximately 40 miles north of Cookeville, Tennessee and 2 miles northeast of Celina, Tennessee, just off of Tennessee State Highway 53.
