Smallwood Reservoir
The Smallwood Reservoir is a large reservoir located in the western part of Labrador and is the source of the Churchill River. Unlike other reservoirs, water is contained not by a single large dam, but by a series of 88 dikes that total 64 km (40 mi) in length. It is the largest body of freshwater in the province and the second-largest reservoir in the world!
