THORNBURY FISHWAY: The fish ladder runs under the bridge over the Beaver River.  It was designed to provide fish passage from Georgian Bay to spawning beds on the Beaver River south of the Thornbury dam.  It can best be seen from an attractive stairway and platforms which are accessible from the public parking lot next to Town Hall.  There are interpretive story boards sponsored by the Thornbury Clarksburg Rotary Club along the walk known as Riverwalk which follows the shore of the Beaver River.  The best times to visit the fish way are spring and fall.  Rainbow Trout swim up the river in spring and salmon in fall.
