Greers Ferry National Fish Hatchery, located in Heber Springs, AR, is part of the National Fish Hatchery System administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Established in 1965, the hatchery produces rainbow and brook trout, which are stocked into cold tailwaters below federally operated dams in Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. This not only enhances recreational fishing opportunities but also provides significant economic value to the local economies.
With a mission to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats, Greers Ferry National Fish Hatchery works in collaboration with partners and engages the public to ensure the continuing benefit of the American people. The hatchery applies science-based approaches to conservation challenges and recognizes the importance of conserving America's aquatic resources for both present and future generations.
