See the Salmon at McLane Creek With Docents

Calendar/Event Details

Sat, November 23, 2024
Sun, December 8, 2024

Each fall, McLane Creek welcomes the migrating native chum salmon back to their natal waters. These fearless fish are tired and worn from having traveled all the way from the Pacific Ocean. Some come from as far north as Alaska, yet they are determined to spawn before they die. Witness their unique spawning display from early November through mid-December. To help you learn more, trained Salmon Steward docents will be at viewing locations to talk about the natural history of the McLane Creek chum run. Look for them between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the weekends in November and the Friday after Thanksgiving and learn to be a salmon hero or future salmon scientist!

No registration is required.
