Carillon Generating Station
An enchanting location
Erected near Long-Sault, the historic site where Dollard des Ormeaux and his men fought the Iroquois, Carillon is the most powerful hydroelectric generating station on the Ottawa River.
You can't visit the site without being impressed by the sheer size of the facilities. Enjoy the spectacular setting as you visit the lock and watch the boats go right through the dam!
To complete your stay, why not have a picnic in the attractive park next to the site?
An awe-inspiring experience!
