KINGFISHER ENVIRONMENTAL INTERPRETIVE CENTRE
Every fall the Coho, Spring, Sockeye, and Kokanee salmon return to their spawning grounds east of Enderby in the Shuswap River gravel beds. The numbers of returning salmon were on a steady decline until, in 1981, the Kingfisher Community club supported the concept of a hatchery and environmental interpretive centre to address the problem.

The hatchery conducts one of the most successful Salmon Enhancement programs in the country. About 500,000 fry are raised in incubators until they reach the Alvin stage, then they are released into the Shuswap to begin their journey to the Pacific.

The Kingfisher Hatchery is located on six hectares just beyond the Cooke Creek Recreation Site, about 26 km east from Enderby on Mabel Lake Road. For more info, call 838-0004 or Neil Brookes at 838-6569.
