The W.A.C. Bennett Dam Visitor Centre is operated by BC Hydro at one of Canada's largest earth-fill hydroelectric dams, situated in the Peace River region of Northern BC near Hudson's Hope. Cyclists tackling the remote roads of this corner of the province can stop to explore exhibits on the dam's construction and its role in BC's power grid. The site itself — overlooking the massive Williston Reservoir — is a striking destination in its own right.
