NB Power recognizes the importance of our Atlantic Salmon and has incorporated special features into the dam design. The salmon arrive at the dam on their up-river spawning in mid-June and are attracted to special weir gates located near the base of the dam. Salmon enter the weir gates at the base of the dam and encounter an artificial current flowing through a channel inside the dam structure. This leads to a hopper pond from which the fish are transported by truck upstream so they can continue their migration. From the tailrace deck, visitors can watch fish being transported upriver beyond the dam.
