Seven Sisters Falls Generating Station

The Seven Sisters Falls Generating Station is another fabulous place to enjoy nature, hiking, and even a peaceful picnic by the water. But of course, the cherry on top is seeing the incredible structure of the dam, which is the largest producer of electricity on the Winnipeg River – it was described by engineers who designed and built it as the river’s mightiest generating station.

The dam was built in 2 stages. The first stage began in July 1929 and with the building of the powerhouse. In August 1931, it was completed, and its three turbine generators produced a total of 75 MW. The second stage began after World War II in 1948. In 1952, the sixth and final unit went into service. It has an average annual generation of 990 million kWh.

From the trails, nature, history, and the unbeatable view provided by the dam itself, a visit to the Seven Sisters Generating Station is definitely a must during your road trip to Seven Sisters!
