It's always rewarding to see these native, wild fish return to their birthplace to complete their life cycle. We'll walk about 1.5 flat miles (with the opportunity to extend this by about a mile, participant and weather permitting) over trail and potentially slippery boardwalk to three different viewing stations. Participants will want to dress warmly and in layers as we may do more standing than walking. We will only cancel this trip if there is a forecast of heavy rain or high winds. More details to be sent to registered participants a few days before the trip.
