The Salmon Run at Erindale Park

Join us to learn about the fascinating biology and history behind the yearly salmon run. Making their way from Lake Ontario all the way up the Credit River, watch as these Salmon migrate through shallow rivers to lay the next generation. Unfortunately, it is a one-way ticket, and a smelly one at that. Please note that Riverwood does not have natural waterfalls or man-made dams, so the Salmon will not leap out of the water.
