See Weeping Rocks Spawning Beds, Oregon
The North Umpqua Trail crosses the river near Wilson Creek at Marsters Bridge. Just west of the bridge is the Weeping Rocks where Chinook salmon begin and end their lives. This watchable wildlife area, just off Highway 138 on Forest Road 4770, shows the spawning beds where adult Chinook salmon return each year from September to November to spawn and then die. The eggs then hatch in spring, after which the salmon normally spend less than five months in the river before migrating to the Pacific Ocean.
From September to November adult Chinook salmon return from the Pacific Ocean to spawn at this site. Interpretive information is available on-site.
