adams river salmon run

每年都有大量的鲑鱼来Adams河产卵。小鱼慢慢长大，游到大海，四年后又回到原出生地再次产卵，随后死去，真是伟大啊！在产卵的季节，在Adams河边是最佳的观赏地。

this is not to be missed, the sight of countless salmon fighting upstream to span is something you have to see in person to appreciate .

This Salmon viewing trip is to be considered one of the most outstanding, educational and awe-inspiring 'things to do' in the area. The Adams Lake viewing is the best I have been to, and we have managed to view the salmon runs in other areas, over the years. We don't always catch them but when we do, we always plan on seeing them yearly. Upon reading the available web literature note that the during what are called " Dominant years (2014, 2018, 2022) millions of sockeye return to spawn in October. The Society hosts the Salute to the Sockeye celebration the first 3 weeks of October every four years. During the "Sub-dominant years" (2015) you may see 100,000+ sockeye return to spawn in October."Post-subdominant years" (2016) you may see 100’s of sockeye return to spawn in October (smallest returns)." In the Pre-dominant years "(2017) you may see 10,000+ sockeye return to spawn in October, generally the first three weeks." The quoted Information was taken from the ADAMS RIVER SALMON SOCIETY WEBSITE - - and much much more information is provided on this site. Please considering becoming a member and help to continue and update this very valuable program to save the salmon. Other breeds of Salmon enter these waterways each year, as well. Chase, the little town on the lake, is wonderful place to stay and enjoy many other attractions, such as the new zip line fun for young and old alike. Wonderful food, friendly locals, and an enjoyable river and lake. BC Parks is always a good resource for further information. Visited Aug, Sept, Oct and Nov.

Nice easy access and quick for travellers passing through. Excellent viewpoints and gravel pathways. Picnic spots.

This was very impressive to visit, even as a local I appreciated the organization of the attraction. They have built a new viewing deck, very well put together and a great photo perch. I hope they have raised enough to include even more additions to this attraction, would be great to develop the entire trail system to prevent people from overcrowding the shorelines and offer another viewing deck. There must have been about 1000 people there when I went and it was very crowded on the viewing deck. Love the addition of the benches along the way and the additional side trail to bypass the crowd at the viewing deck. A must see for all... there is just something about witnessing such an amazing natural phenomenon.

We had hoped to arrive at peak spawning time. The 5th of October was a bit early this year. We did see lots of Salmon and the experience was still enjoyable. As expected there were lots of people. A small group of Asian tourists decided they wanted a fish and proceeded to get into the river and haul one out. As luck would have it the fish was dead. Overall a very beautiful day.

Unforgettable. Spectacular. Dramatic. Educational. The Adams River sockeye salmon run is well worth a detour or even a special trip. This is a great excursion for all ages. You can clearly see the big scarlet fish with green heads up close, as the water is low and clear. You’ll get great pictures, especially if it’s sunny. The sockeye return every year in September/October, but every four years there’s an extra-large, “dominant” run. The next dominant run is in 2018 so plan to be in the area then if you can. There’s a big parking area at the entrance to the site. Access is $5/vehicle and proceeds help fund the event. There are tents by the parking lot with educational displays, local art and souvenirs. There are a few food trucks and lots of porta-potties. The easily-accessible viewing platform is close by, and there are walking trails all along the riverbank.You can also see the salmon from the bridge on the way in, just pull over on either side and walk down to the bank or view the fish from above. The only downside (and it’s minor) is that some of the educational panels along the trails are rife with nasty typos – embarrassing when you think that people from all over read those. Please hire a copy editor, BC Parks.TIPS: Avoid the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend if possible, especially during dominant runs. There can be cars lined up a few kilometres to get into the park so it can get very busy. Go on a weekday if you can, when things are much quieter. If you’re staying in Chase, book your hotel early, especially if you’re there on a weekend. Pete’s Pizza in Chase has the best Greek ribs I’ve had this side of the pond.

Mother Nature at her finest. Well worth the drive from Vancouer for an overnight trip. Spent the night in Kamloops, visited Adams River the next morning and back in Vancouver in time for a late supper. The site is well organized with lots of friendly, helpful volunteers. Also, numerous porta potties, food booths, souvenir shops and explanatory signs are all part of the destination. Highly recommended, although run will be over in a few days for this year. If you can't make it now, make sure you go in 2018.

That is an ad run overseas, touting a Canadian tea. The rest of the world would love to have natural occurrences like the Salmon Run on the Adam's river. Naturally the Adam's river is much longer than the few hundred yards that one can easily access.I went with my son and two young grandchildren. They will not forget the experience. Being able to get right up to within a few feet of the spawning fish is amazing. Being able to walk along the higher banks gives one a very good vantage point to see the salmon pairs evenly spaced across the river as the eggs are laid. Even that natural spacing is quite spectacular. Did not see any 'salmon policemen' directing traffic telling pairs where to go. Nature is often smarter than we are.One piece of advice - hit the washrooms BEFORE hitting the walking trails. Rushing water can convey urgent suggestions to your body.

We drove up from Kelowna yesterday to witness this wonderful event.. this year, even more spectacular, since it is one of the largest runs in recent history. The venue is well-organized by the local volunteers, with excellent highway signs, easy- to- access parking ( for a $5 fee which was good value, given the large number of volunteers assisting us in getting parked), ample washroom facilities, and a variety of food trucks available in the staging area. The bannock available from the Ravens Landing was delicious - both as a sweet, or served with bbq salmon!We first headed to the right from the staging area toward the viewing platform, and had great views of the fish, but with throngs of people. We then returned to the staging area, and headed to the left, toward the mouth of the river , where it empties into Shuswap Lake... much better viewing, with no crowds, some small rivulets which were crammed with fish, and a beautiful old growth cedar forest to stroll in..The experience gave us a fresh insight into the importance of the fishery, and a renewed determination to help protect it.

Brought my family there. The forecast was for 70 odd million to arrive there, but we certainly didn't see that many. Thousands maybe, but not a million. Maybe they are late in arriving. Nevertheless it is spectacular yet profoundly sad to see a four-year cycle of life happening before your eyes. If you have the opportunity, the October visit to the Adams River should not be missed! I fully recommend it!

It's worth the driving of 8 hours from Alberta to Kamloops to see the salmon run. The organizer of the even was well planned and organized. We will definitely be back next time.

Every four years, a major salmon run happens in the fall at what's called Roderick Haig Brown Provincial Park. It's one of those natural phenomenons that defies description. We stayed in Salmon Arm, had good food at Home Restaurant and some great coffee and treats at the Blue Canoe Bakery Cafe.The forty minute drive to the salmon run is scenic with views of mountains and lakes. Once off the highway, orange and green salmon signs point the way to the park. It's about a kilometre long hike along a well maintained trail to the observation platform. The salmon are intent on spawning and ignore the tourists who've come to see them.

My first experience has made me a fan. I had heard about Salmon spawning all of my life, but had never seen it. Even books do not do the process justice. Bright red salmon with normal colored heads, swimming side by side against the current until they find a spot to burrow out a hole to lay their eggs. What a phenomenon of nature. You have to see it to get the full impact.

A little out of the way unless you are specifically heading for this event. Many Parks and environment personnel on-site to teach about salmon spawning and to answer a multitude of questions. There was a small charge for the experience which was collected to support the event. On-site were vendors for food and souvenirs, and, local artists to talk with you about their inspiration for their works, of course, hoping to make sales as well. Many places to view the salmon along the river with one especially well placed platform for viewing. Plenty of parking available. Excellent learning experience for all, as shown by the multitude of school buses during the day.
