Owned and operated by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the Walhalla State Fish Hatchery is one of seven in South Carolina serving a vital role in the management of the state's fishery resources. The Walhalla State Fish Hatchery is the only state hatchery involved in the culture of trout. Visitors are welcome to tour the hatchery, to fish in the East Fork of the Chattooga River, which runs through hatchery grounds, or to picnic in areas provided for the public. The best time of year to visit the hatchery is in the fall. At this time, you can see more stages in the trout's life cycle. Open year-round, the Walhalla State Fish Hatchery is about 15 miles north of Walhalla on SC 107. Daily hatchery hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except Christmas day, when the hatchery is open from noon to 4 p.m.
