The falls and the hatchery in Butte Falls
The falls
Butte Falls takes its name from Big Butte Creek Falls, on the South Fork of Big Butte Creek, according to Wikipedia. The town's own history page says a sawmill was built at the falls in 1906 and that the mill led to the founding of the town. We did not find an official page that gives visitor access or a viewing spot for the falls, so check with the town before you plan a trip.
The hatchery
The Butte Falls Hatchery opened in 1915 and raised millions of young salmon and steelhead. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) ran it. Public radio reporting says the agency chose in 2010 not to reopen it after a disease outbreak and about $1 million in needed repairs, and the town's page says the state decommissioned it in 2011. The two sources differ by a year on the date.
The hatchery is no longer a working fish hatchery, and ODFW's list of hatcheries open to visitors does not include it. ODFW does list the Cole M. Rivers Hatchery near Lost Creek Lake, in Trail.
The Natural Resource Center
The former hatchery grounds are now the Natural Resource Center, run by the Butte Falls Charter School. The town's page describes a 13-acre site with a forest, a riparian zone along Ginger Creek, a certified wetland, an organic garden, an outdoor event center and a greenhouse. The page does not say whether the public may visit or what the hours are. Contact town hall at 541-865-3262 for access.
