This is one of best places to see black bears on POW Island as salmon attempt to negotiate a couple of fish ladders during the summer spawning season (late July–early September). Look out also for river otters and bald eagles from the viewing platforms. Dog Salmon is on the island’s southern half, close to Pink Inlet, and accessible by dirt road.
