Geocache Description:

The Bell-Irving Fish Hatchery is located in Kanaka Creek Regional Park. Rearing ponds, indoor tanks and exhibits are all part of the hatchery.

The hatchery is open for visitors seven days a week and interpretive tours are provided from 1 pm to 3 pm on weekends. Nursery logs, sword ferns, towering Cedar, Hemlock and Douglas Fir trees serve as a backdrop for the tumbling and cascading creek. Unusual tailed frogs and the dipper bird will be found along the creek. Normal footwear is fine if you are going directly to the cache or the hatchery but hiking boots or good quality walking shoes are a must if you choose the canyon trail.

This is a micro cache. There is no room for a pen or pencil so you will need to bring your own.

When our children were younger we released young salmon fry here. They sent them on their journey to the ocean. Just recently I was here again with a grade one class and I thought this would be a lovely spot for a cache. If you are lucky you might get to see some fish in the creek.
