The Fishway
Located along the Waterfront Trail at the mouth of the Desjardins Canal—the only channel that connects Cootes Paradise and Hamilton Harbour—the Fishway is the Great Lakes' first two-way fishway and carp barrier. It is designed to keep destructive, non-native carp out of Cootes Paradise marsh while maintaining the natural flow of water and native aquatic species. Since the Fishway began operating in 1997, 95% of the Hamilton Harbour carp population has been excluded from the marsh.
