Smith's Mt. St. Helena Trout Farm & Hatchery, Calistoga CA

This place is great on so many levels. The scenery is beautiful, you're going to catch fish, the family that runs it are really friendly. One thing to know though, is the 7 miles of road that gets you there is very narrow with lots of blind turns. Just be cautious while driving because it's pretty tight if cars are coming the other way.

Beautiful area, but absolutely disgusting road leading there with garbage, massive vineyards sucking up all the water from the landscape, burnt out cars, and a decent risk of being run off the road by an unnecessarily angry driver. Outside of the property itself, the landowners do not seem to contribute to the health of the area, instead using massive amounts of water for fishing and their vineyard in the hills when there is a brutally destructive drought everywhere around, but hey, profit is more important than the ecosystem in this beautiful nation! The fish are good sized and generally healthy.

Shame it's only open on weekends would prefer going thru the week with it only being open on weekends it's a little hectic

My fiancé took his friend and I to this farm and we just had so much fun. Caught my first trout plus another 5! Lost a few, some monster trout for a little farm. Loved the experience, Bob was a sweetheart. Made a point to tell us how we made his day and hopes to see us back there.definitely going back! Pricing was worth it and more.

Great place. Get to have fun, and go home with some dinner. Great for kids and the whole family, and the staff/owners are amazing people too.

The best customer service. My family had an amazing time beautiful scenery and fun time all the way around. We caught 21 fish and it was exciting for the kids. Definitely recommend.

Wry nice place to relax and fish. Nice shady areas and places to sit. Would really recommend to go prepared with lots of drinks and snacks! Bathrooms are available to public and are very clean. Owners are very nice.

I had a wonderful day with my three young boys 8 and 11 years old, my boys loved it so much that they asked if we could go every weekend. It is a perfect place to introduce kids to fishing, and great for family time.

The ride is gravel and are car started to lose traction so we had to turn around you should really pave the road

My family have been coming up to the Trout Farm since the 70’s. Great place and best people. D. Kilbey.
