About this campground

When traveling the Great River Road National Scenic Byway along the banks of the Mississippi River, the Genoa National Fish Hatchery is a must stop for anyone. Over the last 75 years the mission of the hatchery has evolved from a priority of sport fish restoration to focus on conservation activities concerned with endangered species recovery. With the recent opening of the Great River Road Interpretive Center and the continuing programs in the Sense of Wonder Wetland, you will find something for everyone. Whether you tour the “Clam Shack” where endangered mussels are raised or visit threatened prehistoric fishes in the “Sturgeon Building”, your trip will prove to be fun, exciting and educational. .

Getting there

Genoa National Fish Hatchery is located approximately three miles south of Genoa, Wisconsin on the west side of Highway 35.
