Description:

Two historic wild salmon spawning tributairies of the Lake at the Head Creek existed in the late 1800's south of today's 41st Avenue. Both streams still had wild steelhead, coho and chinook salmon spawning in the gravel-bottomed, spring-fed streams in 1908. Today's Kerrisdale Elementary School, Croften House, Kerrisdale Annex School and Malkin Park are near the historic southeast salmon spqwning tributary of Lake of the Head Creek. The west tributary ran through Collingwood Place just west of Collingwood Street and entered The Mole Farm at today's "Point Grey Golf and Country Club" near the clubhouse. The tributary of Head of the Lake Creek was famous in the 1800's for its huge fall runs of large wild steelhead and coho.
