What travelers are saying

In particular, the explanatory displays by the parking lot, at the viewing platform, and along the trails provide special lessons on the salmon journey.

While the run occurs every year the ones to see are the dominant sockeye runs on this river every four years.

Always a nice time

Always a fun time. Nice walking paths & look outs. Plenty of places to rest along the way. Always an amazing amount of Salmon to admire during spawning season.

Nature at its best

The aboriginal community have created a full days experience with the opportunity to walk to the edge of the river at many places to catch the spawning experience. There are displays, food, vendors and the traffic is handled very well. Bring a sweater and a...More

An interesting visit

We were staying in Salmon Arm and decided to take the quite short drive over to Tsutswecw Provincial Park (nee Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park). This was a peak salmon run year so we were expecting quite a show. In fact it was interesting but not...More

Salmon Run

The salmon run was somewhat underwhelming as I have seen much better at the same place but there’s nothing anyone could have done to make the experience better. The reason for this is that there are an estimated 7M salmon waiting to complete their spawning...More

Wonderful fall activity

The Adams River Salmon Run is absolutely worth a visit - particularly as this is a dominant year for the return. The park is beautiful with several walking trails - some of which take you to various viewing points along the water. You will see...More

Brilliant Day

Sunny days bright red fish. It is definitely worth the trip to the river. Very knowledgeable park staff, with fisheries and Park Rangers to take all your questions. Washroom facilities are clean and kept up.
