Whitehorse Fish Ladder and Hatchery

Each year, over a thousand Chinook salmon make their way through the world’s longest wooden fish ladder at the Whitehorse Fish Ladder and Hatchery, located in Whitehorse, Canada. This 1,200-foot (366-meter) chute is an essential part of their journey from the Bering Sea back to their home waters for spawning, allowing them to bypass the Whitehorse Dam. Visitors can observe the determined salmon as they navigate the ladder, making it a popular spot to witness this natural phenomenon.
