 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): Dangers include cold water, poor visibility and altitude (4500 ft). These are advanced dives.
Underwater attractions are the concrete bridge pilings and wood trestles. There are also two dams in this lake: there is a very old wooden dam (late 1800s) that is only a few meters high, fragile, unmarked and best left alone, and there is a 40' high concrete hydro dam built in 1912 (and added too several time later) which is close to shore along the causeway and marked by a permanent buoy. There is a two story generating station on the 1912 dam which divers can enter. The top of which is at 60ft and the bottom is around 90 ft. Also accessible by boat or DPV with mutliple tanks is the town site remains of Minniwanka Landing. Be cautious around here as although the townsite is marked with a buoy there is a lot of boating traffic.
