I enjoyed FISHLADDER the way I did was the joy and laughter that my daughter exp., The amazement and he lil awestruck face at the power and strength of the water coming over the wall....... the place was clean on a scale 1-5 I would say a 3.7 bc there were some areas that were not as clean as I expected...and we definitely are going back watching the men fish is even fascinating..so go check it out...

This may have been interesting at one time but it seems to be in a state of slow decay and neglect. If you are really into watching trout swim up river this is for you. Sketchy area. Would only bring kids in daytime, actually I dont think I would bring my kids here.

Fun place, be warned some of the homeless hang around here but they mostly keep to themselves and you have nothing to worry about! It also is a great starting point for walking along the river and back due to the free parking.

Never seen a structure like this. I was impressed. Imagine a concrete "ladder" (more like steps) designed so fish can swim upstream to spawn. You can also fish in the Grand River just not from the ladder itself.

First time steelhead fishing on the ladder, Ive always heard horror stories about the people. The people were great and talkative. Its a different style of fishing then I used to but I would go back.

We were here when the fish were jumping and it was really cool to watch. There were also a ton of fisherman out as well. It is one of those things you should see at least once in your life.

A Grand Rapids past-time for outdoors lovers. The actual fish ladder is on the west side of the river. Very active with Steelhead fishing in March and salmon in October.

So cool! Was warm enough that salmon were jumping up the laddar! Free and fun to watch for a while. Free parking near by! No reason to not see this natural attraction

Very unique structure would love to come back when the fish are swimming upstream to spawn. Even without that, it was great to walk around

If you love water and fish you need to check this place out. Its a nice little park for a quick serene getaway at lunch in downtown GR

This is West Michigans finest fish ladder. Skillfully engineered and architected. Great place to stop and just hangout for a while.

Good spot to fish. Not the pleasant view I remembered. Bathrooms dirty. Construe on the riverfront walk was obstructed.

Classic little spot down town GR. Always a fun place to visit when the fish are migrating upstream.

So fun to watch the "flying fish" or to just take a walk and enjoy the breeze near the Grand River

The fish ladder is an awesome part of Grand Rapids and is a beautiful site any time of year.

The ladder was neat to see. Hope to return during salmon season to see the fish use it.
