More then back country bears.

Located on the North Saskatchewan River just south-west of the Bighorn Indian Reservation and built in 1972, the dam waters stretch 32 km back along the Saskatchewan River Valley with a width of more that 3 km. This is not a recreation lake as it is very turbulent and windy but offers a spectacular view of the Kiska Lookout Tower. This is also where the infamous Sasquatch was sited in 1973.



"The tallest sasquatch report would have to be the 15 foot tall creature reported by the 5 workmen at the Bighorn Dam site, in western Alberta, Canada near Nordegg. That was in 1969. Two of the men went up to the creature's location after it had moved off and the men who stayed below were amazed that their friends were less than half as tall as the creature was while it was in view. That's how they concluded that it was 15 feet tall. "





...and I thought it was just bears we had to worry about! Who brought the sasquatch spray?!
