Saturday September 21 2024 . 10am-2pm

Come join us! Last time 300+ adults and children attended and everyone loved it! Bring your boots and bike.
This year we have more fun than ever and plenty of on-site parking.

Watch spawning salmon on a self-guided nature hike

The centrepiece of the event is a 20-minute self-guided nature hike through the woods along Silver Creek. Adults and kids can stop to watch salmon climb the creek and learn more about fish spawning and riparian habitat at 4 locations where conservation experts from the local conservation authorities, Georgian Bay Forever and other organizations will be on hand to add to your knowledge of fish migration and to stamp kids’ fish ‘passports’.

The Salmon Tours

We’ve added more ways to See the Salmon! Bring your bike, pick up a map, and follow a 25 km tour on a combination of roads and trails to see 7 other locations on 3 streams where the salmon can be observed. You’ll arrive back just in time for a delicious lunch from Between the Bunz Food Truck, beverages by Collingwood Brewery, and live music by Deep Tracks. Perfect for individuals or groups, so bring your friends!
Or, travel by car to sites in Thornbury, Collingwood and Nottawa where the salmon run can be observed, including the amazing fish ladder on the Beaver River. Pick up your map on site – your route will bring you back to the main site for food, friends and music.

Great food and TONS of activities for kids!

At See the Salmon Run you’ll find delicious food, local brews by the Collingwood Brewery and FREE kids’ meals for children under 12.
Elephant Thoughts and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority will be there with a huge inflatable salmon, interactive games and crafts for children.
Live music starts at 11:30 with Deep Tracks, back by popular demand!

Some call it fun, some call it ‘edutainment’, but all call it a real good time!
