Corry, PA, United States

Corry State Fish Hatchery. Established in 1876 by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission as the 'Western Hatchery,' it is the longest continuously operated fish hatchery in the Commonwealth. Supplied by abundant springs of uniform flow and temperature, it is considered the state's pioneer trout hatchery.

Its success had a positive effect on the state economy, led to the creation of many jobs related to outdoor recreation, and helped stimulate Pennsylvania's sport-fishing prominence.
