THESE SWIMMING CHAMPS FIGHT THE CURRENT TO COME HOME

CHEER ON THE SALMON AS THEY HEAD UPSTREAM TO SPAWN

Nature fans will be happy to know the Ganaraska River is one of the healthiest rivers around. It's populated almost entirely with wild naturally reproducing fish, like the salmon that instinctively migrate upstream to return to the exact same streams they hatched in as young fish. Port Hope volunteers help out at the fish ladder at Corbett's Dam that has an infrared monitoring system to record the numbers and health of the magnificent fish jumping the rapids to head home. Spectators love to cheer them on!
