Salmon Passage at Okanagan Lake

Salmon Passage At Okanagan Lake To Open August 18, 2025
After years of hard work, advocacy, planning, and now successful implementation while overcoming challenges, the new Okanagan Dam Fish Passage is about to open! The water will be released and permanently flowing, providing salmon unimpeded access from Okanagan River into their Okanagan Lake historical spawning habitat.
For close to 100 years, salmon, a keystone species inextricably linked to the health of Okanagan Lake and its ecosystem, have had no or limited access to the lake and its tributaries.
