Summer Concerts Coming Soon

Once again the summer concerts at the locks are at hand. Check out the schedule on the calendar to the right under the Pages heading. It's a great way to enjoy the summer days. The rangers have a supply of chairs available or you can bring your own lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy the music. There's a wide variety of musical styles so there should be something for everyone! The series opens up on May 31 with:

Salmon Season!

Head on over to the Chittenden Locks to see the sockeye salmon (link to our past article) moving through the fish ladder. The run is now at its peak, about 23,000 fish have passed through as of 7/5/11.

Some early chinook salmon have been spotted so if you see a larger fish with spots on its back in the viewing window, you are seeing a chinook (sockeye have no spots.) The chinook run will peak early August and then will come the coho salmon, the last of the 3 salmon species that use our fish ladder.

Don't forget the weekend concerts on the lawn- every Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.!
