A site on the New Liskeard Waterfront next to the Spurline Building was selected as the preferred location for the project. This area is already a popular summer recreation spot and will only serve to supplement the amenities already available. Thanks to our many funders who have helped to make this project a reality.

Pete's Dam Park |
Temporary Closure - April 22, 2025Pete’s Dam Park remains closed to the public due to public safety concerns. Public safety concerns are caused by:
City staff will monitor conditions and provide notice on reopening. We thank everyone for their cooperation. Pete's Dam Interactive Mapping 
Location | 784285 Pete's Dam Road, Highway 65 West, New Liskeard In the spring of 1906, Kalil (Big Pete) Farah embarked upon a project to build a steam power plant that would supply the Town of New Liskeard. Big Pete bought the power site at Chester Falls from Tom Chester and a dam was built above these falls on the south branch of the Wabi River. In 1910, Farah sold Pete's Dam and its assets to the Northern Ontario Light and Power Company. New Liskeard then received its power from the line that linked them to Cobalt, its Neighbour to the south. The power plant went out of service in the 1920's and was sold to the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario. In 1981, Dymond Township bought the property and it is now known as Pete's Dam Park. The little electric plant no longer exists but the beauty of the waterfall and rapids draws many locals and visitors for picnicking and hiking. The park boasts an easy 2.4 km hike along the river with many amazing views. A picnic shelter and parking lot are available at the trailhead off Pete's Dam Road. Pete's Dam Park is located within the City of Temiskaming Shores approximately an 8 minute drive from downtown New Liskeard.
