About this city
Hagerman is a historic, oasis-like rural city located in western Gooding County, Idaho, nestled along the dramatic volcanic cliffs of the Hagerman Valley where the Snake River flows. Famous globally for its unique subterranean hydrogeology, hundreds of massive pure springs burst straight through the basalt canyon walls here, fueling the largest commercial trout farming cluster on Earth. Hagerman is also an internationally celebrated paleontological treasury, preserving a massive concentration of late Pliocene ice-age fossils.
