Best Park in Canada

Y	Yan Cheng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Salmons are still jumping on Oct 16. Nice stroll around the creek for 20 minutes, watching salmons and people fishing. Recommend to park at the King Street's parking lot in the north side. Second option is the baseline parking lot in the south.
K	K W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There really isn't much to see at the dam itself other than the salmon swimming up if you're in the area at the right time. Generally early to mid September once the weather reaches about 20 degrees or so. There is a nature walk / path around the area and you could walk along the sandy, dirt path along the river.
R	Robert Luciani on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really nice place to relax and watch the fish. In the walking trails nearby are beautiful and watching the water is a relaxing experience.
R	Remi Pleasance on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to enjoy a stroll. Can be busy so be aware. Lots of dogs through there, all were well handled and leashed on my last visit.
t	tanya van der groef on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice trail close to home. Great to watch the salmon and take the dogs for a walk. Free parking which is rare these days.
B	Bhanu Suresh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A lot of fish have congregated close to the dam ready to jump the fish ladder to head upstream. It was so fascinating to watch them trying relentlessly without giving up to continue on their journey.
C	Constance Cammack on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful trail to walk on. Paved for easy accessibility and most likely Bowmanville's top choice.
S	Sammy Mak on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Parking is a bit difficult during peak salmon season but still have a lot, just be patient and courtesy ?. Trail is easy walk. Good for family to enjoy the salmon miracle. Smelly decomposed salmon may be a complaint of some but this is part of nature, just enjoy the view.
