Daniel-Johnson Dam and Manic-5 Generating Station

Spellbinding!

Let yourself be mesmerized by Daniel-Johnson Dam, the largest multiple-arch-and-buttress dam in the world.

Bridging the Manicouagan valley some 200 km from Baie-Comeau, its unique design is a true monument of Québec engineering.

Whether you stand at the foot of the dam, inside or on the crest—plenty of thrills are guaranteed!

Don't miss it!
