NOTE: Visitors aged 18 years and over must present identification (health insurance card, driver's licence or passport) before they can tour the facility. 
 In the heart of the Gatineau Hills, just six kilometres from Hull, lies a monument in the history of the Outaouais: Rapides-Farmer generating station. 
In operation since 1927, the station unlocks the secrets of the river, first used to transport lumber and then to generate hydroelectricity. Examine a generating unit up close and look straight up to admire a 160-t rotor in action! The station will astonish you with its unique facilities, including a weir that discharges water into the former bed of the Gatineau River. Fascinating and historical!
