COLUMBIA RIVER

Third largest river in North America in terms of flow. Stretching from British Columbia to the state of Oregon, the Columbia River Treaty was signed in 1964 between the Canadian and American governments to build dams to limit flooding. Among all the dams that control the Columbia River, one of the most powerful, located 8 km north of Revelstoke, can be visited. 175 m high and 470 m long, or how to feel tiny! Guided tours are available to learn more about the dam.
