Glen Park Hydro Fishing Access and Portage
Olympic Byway, County Rt. 3, near Watertown in Jefferson County
Fish ladders built in the 1980s at Dexter and Glen Park allow steelhead and Chinook salmon to swim as far as Water Street in Watertown.
Located in Huntingtonville at Route 3 into Watertown, this is Watertown’s waterfront park for walking and biking. Canoeing is possible in the impoundment at Glen Park, with access just upstream of the dam. There are fish ladders at Glen Park and Dexter dams. Steelhead fishing is popular near VanDuzee Bridge where large brook trout are stocked annually.
