Stave Falls is a BC Hydro facility in Mission with a visitor centre not far from both Rolley Lake and Alouette Lake in the Fraser Valley.
It’s a great place to learn about electricity.
Stave Falls Powerhouse
Admission at the Stave Falls Powerhouse is only about $6 for adults and $5 for seniors and children, and it makes for a most interesting educational outing. Season’s passes are also available for only about $1 more.
The Stave Falls facilities offer self-guided tours and a 50-seat theatre. They are also wheelchair accessible. There are informational displays throughout the powerhouse and lots to learn about the site and how electricity is made. Expect to stay for at least 30 minutes.
The Powerhouse is open to the public from early March until the early fall. The venue’s location is 31338 Dewdney Trunk Road.
Stave Falls isn’t a place you would drive across the Lower Mainland just to get to, unless you’re on a school field trip, but it’s worth visiting if you are in the area anyway, and it is especially recommended if you’re camping close by and you need to escape from the rain.
