Montauk State Park is home to one of four trout parks in the state
of Missouri. Since its acquisition in 1926, the 1,393 acre
park has been one of the most popular vacation spots in Missouri. The
fast-flowing, spring-fed headwaters of the Current River make Montauk
an ideal home for rainbow trout and the scenic valley creates a
pleasing atmosphere for fishing enthusiasts and vacationers.
Montauk
Hatchery began operation in 1932 with the current production facilities
being built in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. The
hatchery produces and stocks between 300,000 to 400,000 trout a
year. On average the park is stocked with 200,000 trout
each year. Montauk Hatchery also provides trout for Maramec Spring
Hatchery; five White Ribbon Trout areas;
and the St. Louis Urban Winter Trout Fishing areas.
