Manicouagan River – Manic 2

We started on the Trans Labrador Highway entering Quebec 389 towards Manic 2 Power Station.

The Manicouagan River in Quebec, is home to a massive hydroelectric power generation system.

The system has a total of seven operational dams that make up the hydroelectric complex, often referred to collectively as the “Manic dams”. The original project planned for a total of power stations on five or those dams (Manic-1, 2, 3, 4, 5), but Manic-4 was never built due to engineering conflicts with the Manic-3 reservoir.

We camped near Manic 2 Dam and Power Station.

Next morning we visited the dam.
