Rreth
Fakte të shpejta: Nëkatet kontrollojnë nivelet e ujit midis Puget Sound dhe Liqenit Union, duke trajtuar mbi 35 milion metra kub ujë në muaj. Shkallët për peshq ndihmojnë mijëra salmonë të migrojnë në rrjedhën e sipërme çdo vit gjatë sezonit të pjelljes.
Pikat kryesore: Vizitorët mund të ndjekin anijet gjigante që kalojnë përmes portave masive ndërsa salmonët notojnë në shkallët e peshkut ngjitur. Tingulli i ujit që rrëshqet dhe galebët krijojnë një simfoni natyrore e gjallë në vend.
