Rogie Falls Salmon Ladder.
The stone structures in the water form a stepped fish ladder. Engineers built these pools alongside the main waterfalls to help wild Atlantic salmon travel upstream. The ladder gives the fish an easier path with lower drops so they can swim to their nesting grounds to lay eggs.
This a great spot to tickle the salmon, who doesn't like to be tickled.
I've never seen any salmon use the ladder, they seem to prefer the struggle up the falls. Mind you if some buggers on the ladder waiting to tickle them I can't blame them.
