Adults and kids can stop to watch salmon climb the river and learn more about fish spawning and riparian habitat at 3 locations where experts from the local conservation authorities, Georgian Bay Forever and other organizations will be on hand to add to your knowledge of fish migration and to stamp kids’ fish ‘passports’.
