Rock Creek Fish Hatchery and Lake

Rock Creek State Fish Hatchery is located in southwest Nebraska, 7 miles northwest of Parks at the headwaters of Rock Creek. Founded at it’s current location in 1924 because of the abundant cold water spring flow, it is one of five state fish hatcheries operated by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Rock Creek Hatchery annually produces rainbow and brown trout, striped bass hybrids (wipers), bluegill, bluegill green sunfish hybrids, rock bass, red ear sunfish, and grass carp.
