Fish Ladder Park
Nice spot for a walk about. Walking around the river is easy with the walk path that circles through the bridges and comes back around. The ladder isn’t your usual “ladder” but if your patient you will spot fish climbing upriver. Because I came during the chilly month of March, I didn’t get to partake in any fishing. But the river is full of brave souls who are fishing in the chilly waters. I seen many young lads catching big salmon! Great sight to see! There is one sketchy part of the area, the underpass of the bridges have bums living in it. So walking near these areas will result in being begged or just watched with leery looks. Over all nice area to stretch!

Interesting Way to Help Our Finned Friends
I love it when people have a vision that not only saves wildlife and habitat, it provides an interesting view of both. This is a very cool idea to help fish work their way upstream. I saw fish using it to get to higher levels but I wasn't sure how they got out of the final outlet. It was a bit clogged with trash and other debris. I wonder when it gets cleaned out. Several people who are locals told me the city plans to get rid of it and they were upset about that. I don't know the whole story so I don't have an opinion. I just know it was interesting to see how it currently helps the fish.

FISH LADDER
I had never seen a Fish Ladder so insisted we visit while on a family visit to Grand Rapids. The Fish Ladder is in a small pocket park and is more of an art installation but If you have not seen it be sure to stop by it is near the down town area on the river. I was glad I bullied my family into taking me there.
