Salmon Hole Park
5.6 Acres
236 Riverside Ave
Salmon Hole Park is a beautiful place to watch the waters cascade down the Winooski River. Look for wildlife such as ducks, otters, and beavers, or try your hand at fishing. Dark red rocks jut into the river just below the Lower Falls Dam, where steelheads, walleye, and, in the fall, landlocked Atlantic salmon fight their way upriver to their spawning grounds.
