Fish Hatchery Park Loop Hike

Overview

Between 1912 and 1936, a fish hatchery operated just down the Applegate River from today’s Fish Hatchery Park. Coho, Chinook, and steelhead eggs were collected here and sent to many places in the U.S. and the world. Nowadays, this Josephine County Park offers public access to a tranquil stretch of the Applegate River. A numbered nature trail takes you along the lower serpentine slopes of Bolt Mountain (See the Bolt Mountain Hike ) and back up the Applegate. A detailed guide to the nature trail is available on Josephine County's website: Fish Hatchery Park .
