The power dam of “Les Cèdres” is an old power dam, on the St-Lawrence, Ouest of Montreal.

I had this place in mind for quite some time. It’s shore, downstream, are not easy to access, it is a bit secret. Even on the net, I could not find a good picture of it.

Yesterday I finally found the way to get to the spot. I also took note of some good fishing spots. This place is not too far away from my home, a car ride of 20 mins.  The last kilometers on a “real quebec country road”…

The place is magic, excuse the pun,  you’ll find a nice energy around it.

Thousands of birds use the surroundings as a refuge, a paradise for bird watcher.

On the south shore, there is an archaeological complex , I will have to visit it this summer.

The dam was built in 1914. When looking close, it is easy to notice time has done some dammages on the lower part of the structure, the top seem to have been rebuilt not too long ago.

Must go back there soon, with the fly rod instead of the camera…
