Lee and Karen Duquette walked the 2-mile long paved trail that followed a portion of the Obed River for over half its length (which was not very long).

Below; The G.E. Harrison and J. Ridley Mitchell Dam was built here in 1930. It was 16 feet high at the head of the lake, 20 feet deep at its deepest. It broke the next year and by 1932 was completely collapsed. Karen Duquette photographed what was left of the dam.
