The Fairmount Fish Ladder is an ecological marvel situated on the Schuylkill Rivers west side at the Fairmount Dam. It was constructed to aid migratory fish species, such as the American Shad, in their journey upriver to spawn. Installed in 2009 by the Philadelphia Water Department and the US Army Corps of Engineers, the ladder is a testament to the citys commitment to environmental sustainability and aquatic life conservation. Visitors can learn about the ladders function and observe the fish migration through an interpretive sign located on an overlook on MLK Drive. The ladder not only serves a practical purpose but also provides a unique educational experience for nature enthusiasts and conservationists alike.
