Manitoba's first hydro-electric generating station, operating from 1906-1951. Now in ruins the dam is over taken by nature, beautiful sights in any season. Walking path around the dam. **Cautious taking children**

This is an absolutely gorgeous place to hike during the winter. Lots of cool sites to see. This historic site is only a 15 minute drive from our airbnb. To see the exact route, download the "ALL TRAILS" app and there will be a full map of the hiking trail, along with how long it takes to walk, difficulty, etc
