The Brenke Fish Ladder was built in 1981 to help fish swimming up the Grand River pass the dam without injury. The fish ladder is a peaceful place to visit along the river and you can always find fishermen nearby catching catfish, carp, sunfish, and other smaller species of fish that inhabit the Grand River.
Designed to allow migrating fish a means of circumventing the powerful water flow at the man-made rapids in the Grand River, this popular site allows visitors to watch fish jump up the "ladder" in a seasonal migration in the spring and late summer.

It's illegal to fish the ladder, but you can bring waders and fish a few yards from it along the water fall (with a fishing license of course). It's between Bridgewater Place on Michigan street and the 6th street bridge on the west bank of the Grand River. The river walk is a nice walk from the Fish ladder.
