The Fish Ladder is open in the summer Fridays and Saturdays from

Friday 05/23 through Labor Day Weekend

Observe the fish ladder from above and below, explore interpretive exhibits, and speak with a knowledgeable environmental educator about our local watershed.

Whether you're curious about migrating fish species or want to learn more about how fish ladders work, The Bellows Falls Fish Ladder and Visitor Center is a place to learn, explore, and experience a unique perspective of the Connecticut River.

The Nature Museum operates the Visitor Center on behalf of Great River Hydro, owner of the fish ladder as well as the hydroelectric facility in Bellows Falls, Vermont.

See directions, photos, and more information about the fish ladder here.
