March Field Trip
Join us on a guided tour at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery to learn more about salmon, steelhead, and the amazing American River! We will explore the Nimbus Visitor Center, the American River Discovery Trail, and the hatchery raceways. During the tour, we will cover the life cycle and biology of steelhead trout, their habitat needs, and human impact on riparian ecosystems.
Tour is 90 minutes from 12pm-1:30pm. We will meet in the parking lot at 11:45am.
March through October is non-peak season and our fish ladder is closed during this time. During shoulder season months (i.e. March or October), you can expect to see adult fish in the American River adjacent to the fish hatchery. While this is a slower time at the hatchery, juvenile fish can still be observed in our raceways (concrete holding ponds) and fish food is offered to tour groups.
