Whitehorse Rapids Fishway (aka the Fishladder)

Interesting display, helpful and informative staff and a very long fish ladder!

Great closes at 4:30 nice spot to see the fish jump and do stuff. Good spot for some photos.

I had no idea what a fish ladder was until I stopped by this place. If you're visiting Whitehorse and want some easy outdoor activities, I recommend stopping by and walking along the pathways and watching the rapids from the bridge. It's an impressive current for sure!

I highly enjoyed coming here with my family, as my children were delighted when they saw a salmon swim past the observation glass. All of us also learned a lot about the fish ladder--the longest wooden fish ladder in the world that allows fish to swim safely past the Yukon River dam--as well as the nearby fish hatchery that is part of the same program.

Really informative little institution, great for kids and adults (but maybe more for kids) to visit. Expect to spend maybe between 20 to 40 minutes or so there. It's not a very big place, but there's free parking, it's educational, and views are pretty, even on a rainy day. And no entrance fee (although there is a donations box, they don't pressure you to donate). Definitely worth a visit if you're in town while they're open. They're also very responsive on Facebook too.

Was an insightful Tuesday morning learning about Salmon’s life cycle. Amazing!

It's worth visiting, and one can definitely walk there from downtown Whitehorse. They say that the rapids are no longer what they used to be after the dam was built, but to my eyes, they still look like the rapids that gave the city its name.

Nice place to visit at the end of the trail
