Lower Coldwell Reservoir

Highlight • Structure

The Lower Coldwell Reservoir was built in 1884 to supply the town of Nelson's water needs. Today, it holds around 80 million gallons of water. The Upper Reservoir is around half the size and was completed in 1935. There used to be an inn here, which was once a notorious gambling den. It closed its doors in 1941 and has since become the Coldwell Activity Centre.
