Impressive visitor center + impressive dam and operation + good tour. The exhibits in the visitor center are quite good and the staff are quite informative if you chat with them. There are some nice items (and a really good view) on the grounds around the center. Reserve if you can, we had to wait a bit over an hour for an upcoming tour, but there was plenty to see and do, so the time went quickly. Don't miss driving across the dam to the elevated viewpoint on the opposite side. The tour itself is fun and educational, with the highlight being the huge interior area where the water exits the turbines and heads out of the dam -- very cool! Add in a couple of eagles on the spillway and we had a great visit.

Hudson's Hope is situated on the banks of the Peace River in North Eastern British Columbia. It is a small rural town of 1100 people, some 80kms from the nearest major Peace River city of Fort St. John and 375kms from the regional city of Prince George. After the exploratory adventures of Alexander Mackenzie and Simon Fraser in the later 1700’s, the Northwest Trading Company established a fur trading post here in 1805. Hudson’s Hope is home to one of the world’s largest earthen dams, the W.A.C. Bennett Dam and G.M.Shrum Generating Station. This dam stretches 2 kms across the Peace River creating B.C.’s largest reservoir, Williston Lake, covering 410,000 acres.
