5 hiking trails, a bird blind, native plant gardens, picnic tables, some of the oldest exposed rock in the Llano Uplift and a designated Monarch Way Station; does that sound like fish hatchery to you?
Along with its original purpose of raising fish Inks Dam National Fish Hatchery has morphed into a first-class nature sanctuary. With approximately 150 acres adjacent to the Colorado River just South of Inks Dam and accessible from Park Road 4 you can find over 200 species of songbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, and abundance of native trees and plants.
Open on weekends from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, admission is FREE! There are trail maps available at the Visitor Center as well as signs to guide you. Pack a lunch and plenty of water, grab your binoculars, and come to discover this amazing local facility!
