About this campground
The Quinault National Fish Hatchery was established in 1969, and exists as a joint venture with the Quinault and Hoh Indian Nations for the continued enhancement of Pacific salmon along Washington’s northwest coast. This program grew out of the need to restore and enhance fish runs due to surface water degradation and habitat loss created by timber harvest and human population growth and development. Located on Quinault Indian Nation land close to Olympic National Park, the hatchery annually releases or transfers more than 3.9 million coho salmon, winter steelhead, and chum salmon fish or eggs to support tribal and sport angling.
Getting there
Located on the Quinault Indian Reservation about 45 miles North of Aberdeen. Drive North on U.S. Highway 101 to mile post 120 (Moclips Highway). Turn West on Moclips Highway and go 5 miles to hatchery sign.
