In this episode of the Canadian Podcast, I, Zak, invite you to join me on a journey into the hauntingly beautiful story of Lake Minnewanka.

Beneath its serene, crystal-blue waters lies something extraordinary: the forgotten resort town of Minnewanka Landing. Picture this—a bustling community from the early 1900s, filled with life, laughter, and visitors from far and wide, now lying eerily silent and submerged.

I'll walk you through how this once vibrant town met its watery fate when a dam project raised the lake’s water level, drowning homes, businesses, and dreams in the name of progress.

I’ll share what still remains for scuba divers to discover and reflect on the lasting legacy of a community that’s become an underwater ghost town.

Join me as we uncover the secrets hidden in the depths of Lake Minnewanka and explore how time and nature can transform even the most lively places into whispers of history.

Thank you for listening!
