Milne Dam Conservation Park

“Milne Dam Conservation Park is located on Milne Reservoir, part of the Rouge Park and is also planned to become part of a future Rouge Park Trails Network. Milne Dam Conservation Park was named after Peter and Alexander Milne who operated a mill, located near the present dam structure, in the 1820’s. By 1845, the business had expanded to include a general store, fueling and wool mill and ashery. In 1911, Archie Milne, grandson of Peter Milne, built the first concrete and steel arc dam in Canada…”
