Carillon Generating Station

 
Buil between 1959 and 1964

NOTE: Visitors aged 18 years and over must present identification (health insurance card, driver's licence or passport) before they can tour the facility.

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!
