Eight Places to View Salmon
Along Bear Creek Salmon in the City? You can celebrate migrating and spawning salmon and steelhead all along Bear Creek. We suggest eight locations mapped below. Click on the SITE NAME at the end of a pointer to find the best viewing spots, access, parking, when to visit, and what to watch for at each site. Chinook, coho salmon and steelhead are born in freshwater. Bear Creek fish swim downriver 115 miles to the ocean when about 6 inches long. While in the ocean they grow and mature to adulthood. When 3 to 5 years old they swim back upriver to find the natal stream where they were born. Click Here or on Gold Ray Dam to learn how many salmon and steelhead have passed the fish counter just below the mouth of Bear Creek this year. Salmon, and the streams that are their home are a treasured part of Bear Creek heritage. Click here to find how you can help keep salmon returning.
