Good place to start a paddle if going north. The put in could be cleaned up a bit, but manageable. The Ganaraaka was a great kayak, north under the 401. Once far enough from the sound of traffic a few hundred .etres away, it was perfectly silent but for nature. So many fish they were bumping my boat.
Salmon are unique in their need to live in both the fresh water of rivers and streams, and salt water of the oceans, making them anadromous. This part of their life cycle makes for a spectacular event where large adult salmon swim against ankle deep streams and rapids. Up and over waterfalls to return to their original spawning grounds to mate and reproduce before their lives end. During September you can see this annual event in Port Hope's River. One of the best locations to see the salmon run and to see them jumping out of the water is at the Port Hope conservation area's fish ladder. It is amazing seeing these large fish leaping into the air with the sole purpose to go back to the place they first started life. Despite a small section dedicated for a fish ladder, I could not help but feel sorry for the hundreds of fish trying to get over the other parts of the high man made dam. Maybe they should enlarge the area of the fish ladder to at least half the width of the waterway to give the fish a chance and help ensure the survival of fish stock in the future. I am also afraid by seeing hoards of people fishing in the streams catching whatever they can beyond their quotas, not respecting fishery catch and release requirements and some even trying to catch fish by snagging them or scooping fish directly with nets. These people set a bad example for fishermen who follow fish and game rules. I believe that there should be more robust regulatory oversight and changes in regulation concerning catch limit restrictions and fewer licenses issued. That way salmon stock can thrive and we can all enjoy more salmon in the future Update. I returned back to the river and fish ladder and still saw fish running up stream. Also saw fish carcasses floating down stream after the fish reproduced at the same location where they started their journey of life If you like my reviews, videos, or photos spawn your thumb up stream into the air.
Huuuge fish queued up to jump the ladder. Quite an amazing view to experience at least once. Quick and easy access from the 401, just a couple of minutes and you're there.
Conservation in action! Just upstream from a hoard of humans by Jocelyn bridge trying to catch them. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Fish action from spring to fall. Atlantic, coho, pink salmons; rainbow trout too. It's September and we typically saw Coho. It's amazing to see nature do its thing with a little help from some concrete and steel.
It was my first time ever seeing the salmon run. It is amazing how they do it. Great place to see the salmon in big numbers.
Rainy day but still enjoyable. Lots of salmon but only saw 2 jump out of the water. The hike along the river was nice.
A nice place to stop at to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and get pictures of wildlife. We bring the kids and walk along the shore. Sometimes we catch crayfish, take a picture and then watch them swim back to their home.
lots of salmon ,its a nice experience if you never seen before.
Fun and interesting. However, it was hard watching many of the salmon miss the small narrow manmade ladder and hitting the cement wall in their attempt to swim upstream. C'mon we can do better than this for the salmon!!!! Hanging a narrow strip of rubber tarp on each side of the opening to soften the blow is embarrassing.
Saw salmon jump. Also saw people jump but that's not the point.
