Teave
Kiired faktid: Lukud reguleerivad vee taset Puget Soundi ja Lake Unioni vahel, käsitledes kuus üle 35 miljoni kuupmeetri vee. Kalade trepp aitab igal aastal tuhandeid lõhesid kudemiseks üles ujuda.
Esiletõstmised: Külastajad saavad vaadata hiiglaslikke kaubaaluseid läbimas tohutuid väravaid, samal ajal kui lõhed ujumist jätkavad kõrvuti asuvas kalade trepis. Kiirustava vee ja kajakate heli moodustab elava loodusliku sümfoonia kohas.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear waterproof shoes during salmon season for better comfort near the fish ladder.
- Bring binoculars for detailed views of ships and wildlife.
- Visit the visitor center for educational exhibits about the locks and fish ladder.
- Arrive early to find free parking and avoid weekend crowds.
