Whitehorse Fish Ladder and Hatchery

The Whitehorse Fish Ladder and Hatchery is a unique facility located on the Yukon River, designed to help salmon navigate past the Whitehorse Rapids. Built in the mid-20th century, this remarkable structure allows visitors to observe the annual salmon migration, with large viewing windows providing an intimate look at the fish as they make their way upstream. Plan for a visit between late June and early August to witness the peak of the salmon run. The hatchery also features educational exhibits on local fish species and conservation efforts, making it educational for all ages. Nearby, the scenic Miles Canyon offers picturesque trails along the river.
