The Brenke Fish Ladder was built in 1981 to help fish swimming up the Grand River pass the dam without injury. However, today the fish ladder is also a peaceful place to visit along the river where one can almost always find fishermen catching catfish, carp, sunfish, and other smaller species of fish that inhabit the Grand River. It combines art, function, and engineering into a beautiful masterpiece that benefits more than one species.
