History
Constructed: 1908-1912
The site of an early milling complex, a masonry lock was built at Crooks Rapids in 1838 for $25K. Renamed Hastings, the town had numerous industries powered by a timber dam and slide, till fires destroyed the complex. Randolph MacDonald & Company won the contract for a new concrete lock, dam and railway piers. Today, Hasting is a friendly town that is a favourite for those that like to fish.
