Thousands of visitors experience the beauty, diversity of wildlife, and the exhilaration of just being outdoors in what seems to be an untouched area.
There is lots to see including the old Pinawa Dam, Manitoba’s first hydro-electric station; gorgeous views of the Pinawa Channel from rock outcrops and the impressive 54-metre Pinawa Suspension Bridge; the town of Pinawa with its riverside trail, beach and Pinawa lagoons; and the Seven Sisters Causeway and Generating Station.
