Prince of Wales Hatchery

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:58:28

The Prince of Wales Hatchery was established in 1897 and today is the second-oldest one in Alaska. The present facility was built in 1976 and raises coho, king and sockeye salmon, with many released into the adjacent Klawock River. Inside the visitors center is an aquarium and gift shop where fresh coho is often for sale; outside you can occasionally see black bears feeding across the river.
