Tellico Fish Hatchery



Tellico River is known for some of the best trout fishing, mostly due to the large amount of trout that are released into the wild from the Pheasant Fields Fish Rearing Pools.

Take the scenic Cherohala Skyway about 17 miles to the entrance of the fish hatchery. The location is slightly past Bald River Falls (also a must see!... The giant falls are easily spotted when driving over the bridge, and offer nearby trails for adventurers and close picture taking).

Next to the fish hatchery is a beautiful spot for pictures! The views of the river are breathtaking, and the trees provide some nice shady spots for picnicking.
