Stamp River Provincial Park, Provincial park with fish ladders in Alberni-Clayoquot, Canada

Stamp River Provincial Park covers 327 hectares of mixed forest 14 km north of Port Alberni on Vancouver Island. The Stamp River runs through it with rapids and a waterfall, and a fish ladder built by Fisheries and Oceans Canada lets coho, sockeye and chinook salmon pass upriver. Two kilometres of trails follow the river, and there are 23 camping spaces.

The original fish ladder was built by hand in 1927 and rebuilt in 1955 to help salmon migrate upriver. This structure reflects early efforts to protect salmon populations in the region.

The park and its river carry the name of Edward Stamp, a sawmill pioneer in the Alberni Valley. Visitors today see that logging past in Port Alberni's mill town layout and in the working harbour at the head of the inlet, a short drive south of the park.

The park remains open year-round with drive-in camping available, though fees apply during the warmer months. Basic facilities such as pit toilets and drinking water are provided throughout.

Between late August and December, three salmon species move upriver in sequence, starting with Sockeye, then Coho, and finally Chinook. Visitors can observe these separate migrations if they time their visit accordingly.
