Weaver Creek Spawning Channel
An artificial salmon spawning channel where, in October, visitors can watch thousands of sockeye and pink salmon fighting upstream to spawn, up close from the trail.
The Weaver Creek Spawning Channel was built by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, using a gravel streambed to imitate natural spawning conditions. Every autumn, tens of thousands of sockeye, pink and chum salmon return from the Pacific to spawn here. Early to mid-October is the sockeye peak, when red-bodied salmon crowd the shallow channel, which can be viewed closely from the trail alongside it. Staff give explanations during the run. Few fish are visible in other seasons. Admission is free. Located on Morris Valley Road about 15 km northwest of Harrison Hot Springs village, it can be combined with eagle viewing around Chehalis and the Kilby site.
Opening hours
