Construit dans le sud de l'Alberta, le barrage de Bassano est un projet d'ingénierie remarquable. Il est accessible en voiture et vous pouvez facilement marcher sur toute sa longueur. Le barrage retient un réservoir pittoresque utilisé pour l'irrigation. En marchant sur le barrage en lui-même, vous aurez une belle vue sur les écluses et vous ressentirez une brume rafraîchissante qui se dégage des jours chauds. Sur la colline se trouve un petit parc bien entretenu qui explique sa construction et son utilisation. Les vues sur les campagnes environnantes sont magnifiques. Le barrage est définitivement une visite qui en vaut la peine, même si cela vous amène sur des routes gravillonnées.

A bit off the beaten path, this place is a wonderful engineering project in southern Alberta. It is simple to access and you can walk it's length with ease. Used for irrigation, the dam holds back a picturesque reservoir. When walking on the actual dam you get a nice view of the spillways and a refreshing mist to cool you off on hot days. There is a small, well maintained park on the hill that explains it's construction and use. Views of the surrounding countryside are wonderful. Well worth the drive down gravel roads to visit.

This was our first time visiting the Bassano Dam. Our family enjoyed checking out the dam itself and enjoying the overlooking picnic area. There is a historical aspect to the lookout area with placards and pictures of construction. There were pelicans enjoying the dam falls and some other interesting birds like meadowlarks. I much preferred this location to the Brooks Aqueduct. Recommend.

We really did not know much about the dam so we were very impressed with the history, the views, and the location. Definitely worth the drive along gravel roads

If you've wondered about this place for a couple of decades, it is worth the few minutes detour off the highway to see it, especially if you like seeing dams in general. I enjoyed stretching my legs for 15 minutes. The is a couple of nice views from different vantage points. I probably won't stop again for a really long time, but I'm glad I stopped by today after wondering about it every time I've passed through Bassano for the last 30 years. The river bank is a lot higher than it looks in the photos, but it isn't super high either.

A lovely spot to have a wonder around, the kids were pretty excited considering. It is a gravel road to get there, easy to find but expect a lot of dust on your vehicle! We went with a trailer as we were coming home from camping in Brooks, there was an area to park but we didn't make it to the lookout area unfortunately.

A beautiful place. About 20 minute drive due to bumpy road to get here. But worth it.
