Hiking
A salmon ladder is essentially an artificial waterfall, created to help fish travel farther upstream in a waterway that no longer has its natural contours. The salmon are most plentiful here in July and August. If you arrive much earlier or later than that, you may not get to see many, if any, salmon flinging themselves up the "ladder".

Hiking
In order to make it easier for salmon to overcome the rapids, there is a salmon ladder here. With much patience you can even observe salmon jumping.
