Weaver Creek Spawning Channel Recreation Site
Established in 1965, this 3-kilometer channel was created to expand spawning habitat for sockeye salmon, as well as smaller numbers of chum and pink salmon. It can host around 45,000 spawning adults and ensures a steady flow of clean water, protecting eggs and young fish from flooding or freezing. As an extension of Weaver Creek, it allows many more salmon to spawn naturally than the creek alone, making it an ideal location to witness the salmon’s remarkable migration and life cycle.
