Visitor's Centre
The W.A.C. Bennett Dam Visitor Centre is located near the dam, overlooking Williston Lake Reservoir. The centre features exhibits on the dam, hydroelectricity, and the area's natural and cultural history. There is also a video theatre and a cafe. Guided tours are provided periodically on most days, which include a bus ride into the earthen dam, a paced walk through many of the underground tunnels, and views of the generator room. Due to terrorism security concerns, photography is prohibited within the dam.

A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.

The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
