The most renowned tourist attraction in the area, Manic-5, located 214 km north of Baie-Comeau on route 389, draws some 10 000 visitors each summer. Its most remarkable feature is the Daniel Johnson Dam, the largest buttressed multiple arch dam in the world, rising to a height of 214 m and extending 1,3 km. The dam’s 2,000 km2 reservoir is more than twice as large as Lac Saint-Jean. Visitors enter the dam from the enormous arches at its base, and then proceed to the top; they may also visit the underground powerhouse.
