Additional Property Attributes

Site construction was completed in 1917 and has been owned and operated by the California Department of Fish & Game since that time. The site was slated for operational closure due to budget cuts and was severely damaged in a fire/flood event in 2007 & 2008, respectively.

Former Use: In late December of 1915, citizens of Inyo County held a fund raiser and collected enough funds to purchase a 40 acre site north of Independence, near the Oak Creek. The site was then donated to the California Department of Fish & Game (CDF&G) for the construction of the Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery in 1916. Site construction began in 1916 and was completed in 1917. The California Department of Fish and Game scheduled the closure of Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery on June 30, 1996. The CDF&G recognized the need to continue the hatchery as a working facility and preserve its historic and cultural significance for the people of the State of California. The site is currently under the stewardship of the Friends of Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery and the CDF&G no longer maintains active operations at the site. The Friends of Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery conservancy group maintains the site and intends to purchase the site and then donate it to Inyo County. Records show the site has been owned by the State of California since the early 1900's with the State of California being the current owner. The site is being evaluated by Inyo County and the owner for potential reuse applications including commercial and residential usage.
