The Adams River Salmon Society coordinate the celebration known as the ‘Salute to the Sockeye’ during the dominant years. The following years are “sub-dominant” runs of sockeye: 2003, 2007, 2011. These years often have substantial returns of sockeye and offer excellent viewing opportunities.

The best place to view spawning salmon will be in the channel next to the parking lot.
