Geocache Description:

The Nimbus Hatchery raises salmon and steelhead for release into the American River, as well as Rainbow's for Nor-Cal lakes.The hatchery visitor center offers fun and educational activities for children and adults, plus a on-site nature trail along the American River to view wildlife.

Park & grab hours: Dawn to dusk.

If you plan on touring the hatchery the hours are: Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., Saturday - Sunday 9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Closed Christmas Day. Raceways (fish rearing ponds) open daily 7:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

The main parking lot closes at 3pm, so I have added coordinates for additional parking in case the main lot is filled or closed.

The fall salmon run is a must for all ages and guaranteed to bring a smile.

Logging requirements: On the 1/4 mile wildlife trail you will find 2 viewing areas with signs. Email me 4 of the native animals listed and log away
