Description
In 1902, the Canadian Pacific Railway dammed Adair Creek to create a water supply for its operations (i.e. steam locomotives), and the area became ideal for settlers. The dam soon became known as Fairly Lake and in 1905, the first swinging bridge was built across it at a cost of $300. The bridge was blown down in 1954, but it was rebuilt in 1964. That bridge was blown down again in 1991, and in 2004 the 100 metre bridge was rebuilt at a cost of $250,000. It is still standing today and is crossed over 50,000 times each year.

Walking bridge over the lake. There is a small pavillion on one side offering shady seats.
