service station, seal watching, airplane tours, confederation trail,
golf course and much more.
There is lots of history in Murray River for you to learn about
at the Interpretative Centre located at the Eagles View Golf Course
club house. Learn about the boat building and saw mill that was
a big part of this village that was located at MacLure’s
Dam.
MacLure’s Dam is the largest freshwater pond on Prince Edward
Island and probably one of the prettiest. The pond was actually
a millpond whose rich history dates back to the early 1800s. Today
the pond is verdant with the green of hearty pines serving as backdrops
for the marsh grass and cattails that line the banks.
On your visit be sure to drop by the wharf and talk to the fishermen
you‘ll learn all about the lobster fishing, mussel industry
and other fishing that is done in the area. If you want a real
treat then be sure to attend the Murray River Fisheries Festival.
There are lots of things to do and see in Murray River so be sure
to drop by.
