About this audio guide
This guide to Two Jack Lake near Banff starts at Minnewanka Landing, a resort town that vanished underwater in nineteen forty-one when a wartime dam raised the neighboring lake thirty metres. It follows the War Measures Act, the diverted Cascade River, and an archaeologist who later dove the drowned townsite. Look toward the canal mouth on the shore nearest Lake Minnewanka, where the water arrives from somewhere else entirely.
