Lake Creek Falls Fish Ladder

Search Swisshome Oregon

A popular spot to view spawning steelhead and coho and Chinook salmon as they migrate through the ladder during the fall and winter months. A Watchable Wildlife site is located at the concrete ladder. This ladder opened 100 miles of stream habitat that was previously inaccessible to fish due to the height of the falls. The refreshing atmosphere surrounding the falls has made this a perfect setting in the summer to enjoy picnicking, swimming and relaxing.
