Absolutely charming. It's a good place to go watching ' Salmon Run' that peaks up in September to October - a natural phenomenon, every year. You can spot chiefly, Chinook Salmon,Coho Salmon( small and silvery), Atlantic Salmon and Pink Salmon. The popular event only happens once in a year and it attracts hundreds of tourists and naruralists from Canada and different parts of the world! That's a heart - wrenching sight that so many Salmon die in front of you because they starve unto death after spawning and travel for many miles upstream without food - you must have heard the expression in English,' The tenacity of Salmon'? Many inhabitants and tourists throng the place to a catch a glimpse of this tragic event. Very few people pick up these dying beautiful creatures for food though Salmon ( Saumon) costs 27 CAD to 42 CAD per kg in the Canadian Fish markets( I mean fresh Salmon fillets), and the price fluctuates, depending on the demand,seasonality and the species of Salmon. The wild - caught are more expensive than the farmed- ones. Naturalists and others who are are interested in zoology happen to visit these spots every year without fail and they come from far off places. A few bears and birds feed on these carcasses. Therefore, one has to ensure that there are no wild bears while you go to watch the event from the safety point of view! The authorities put up warning signs if bears happen to visit these creeks for eating these dying and dead Salmon. During our visit to Toronto in 2023, we had gone to three different places to watch this spectacular but sad phenomenon!!! That leaves sorrowful imprints on your mind. Too many pretty creatures wriggle for life and just die adding nutrients to the eco - system.....
