Indian Head River Fish Ladder

The Indian Head River Fish Ladder sits at Ludden's Ford Park, straddling the Pembroke and Hanover line. This large concrete structure helps migratory fish like herring and shad scale an obsolete mill dam on their way upstream to spawn each spring, though unfortunately it is not a very effective one -- large numbers of fish are still regularly seen stuck downstream, unable to make it over. The impoundment behind the dam is popular for catch-and-release fishing and non-motorized boating.
