Capilano River Hatchery

Capilano River Hatchery is a free Fisheries and Oceans Canada site inside Capilano River Regional Park. Families can view rearing tanks and, in season, salmon climbing the fishway, then step outside for a picnic or accessible viewing platform.

Visitor hours and the Capilano Park Road address are published on the DFO page. Metro Vancouver park materials note wheelchair-accessible picnic and viewing facilities near the hatchery.

Keep children away from steep canyon edges. This is a budget North Shore stop near Cleveland Dam, not a playground substitute, so plan the walk with the terrain in mind.
