The website at (
visit link) tells us, in part:
"The Albert Powell Hatchery is located in Hagerstown, Maryland. Named after a former Maryland hatchery director, construction of this facility began in 1946 and was completed in 1949. This hatchery raises rainbow trout to meet various DNR goals. The hatchery receives eggs from a private supplier and raises them to fingerling size. Some of these fingerlings are stocked directly into Maryland waters at the request of Regional Biologists to enhance naturally reproducing populations. Additional fingerlings are supplied to other state culture facilities where they are grown to catchable size. The remaining fingerlings are cultured to adult size and used for put and take stocking and fishing rodeos. Approximately 10% of the fish are cultured to trophy size and stocked throughout Maryland to provide anglers with the opportunity to catch some spectacular fish.
The hatchery welcomes visitors, but please call the hatchery manager before your visit."
