Georgia’s Buford Trout Hatchery

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources invites you to visit the Buford Trout Hatchery where you can get an up‑close look at how hundreds of thousands of trout are raised for stocking in public waters. They invite guests to take self‑guided tours through the facility to see brown and rainbow trout at various stages of growth, making it a great stop for anyone curious about how fisheries are managed. They also provide guided group tours by appointment, giving students and visitors a deeper, interactive learning experience about hatchery operations and the role they play in supporting fishing opportunities across the state.
