It is about an hour north of Calgary, right across from the Lafarge Seebe Shale Quarry and the Brewster's Kananaskis Guest Ranch. The dam is very easily accessible any time of the day, d is a good spot for fly fishing. After 7PM there is usually no guard, and there are several holes in the glass of the main building big enough to get through, but I did not have the time or courage to try to get in the buildings. All of the doors to the buildings are alarmed. Roof access is easy. There are no motion detectors in the main turbine room (for obvious reasons) but there are motion detectors in the offices side.  Basic Information Type: Hydroelectric Dam Status: Active Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: worth the trip  Physical Information Address Highway 1X Seebe, Alberta Canada Owner: TransAlta See a map of this location  Hazards flooding water heights  Interesting Features Lots of rushing water Easily accessible dam face and turbine inlet The view from the top of the dam is cool You can get right up to the turbine outlets Easy access because of crappy fencing  Security Measures fences barbed wire part-time guard Alarmed doors on the buildings  Historical Dates Built: 1913 Closed: 0  Required Equipment long pants / sleeves boots  Recommended Equipment camera and a change of clothing  History The Kananaskis Dam was constructed in 1913.
