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