Confirmed from Fish Hatchery County Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring hiking trails, river access, a swimming hole, and picnic benches.
What runners say about Fish Hatchery County Park
“Not trashy, well maintained and parking is close to the water.”
“Fish hatchery park has been improved in the last 10+ years With walking trails and beautiful scenery along the river and mountain.”
“Calm water, shaded tree area with picnic tables, and paved parking lot.”
Fish hatchery park has been improved in the last 10+ years With walking trails and beautiful scenery along the river and mountain. It gets pretty crowded in the summertime unfortunately. In the fall most of the people go away which makes it more relaxing. The hike to the top of Bolt mountain is easy and fun.
Great local swimming hole, good hiking trails. Gets very busy and crowded which can kill the peaceful vibe. Hiking, you will find lots of people that let their dogs off leash.
What a lovely park to walk in! We took the dogs fir the 1.5 mile walk and enjoyed every minute. Worth the drive.
Beautiful place to enjoy swimming or floating on the water. Nice hiking trails abs small playground for kids.
