Rivers dam history continued in The Rivers Banner
Excerpts from the Brandon Sun recount the Rivers dam dedication led by Rt. Hon. Douglas Harkness in 1961. The dam on the Minnedosa River created Lake Wahtopanah, with a 4000 foot crest, 75 foot height, and a 14 mile shoreline. The project cost about 1.095 million dollars and included a commemorative cairn later replaced by a federal plaque.
