THE LONGEST BEAVER DAM IN THE WORLD

The longest beaver dam observed with Google Earth to date (October 2
2007) is located in Northern Alberta. The dam has a length of about
850 meters (2790 ft). It has at least existed at this spot for over 15
years as it can be observed on the 1990 LandSat 7 Pseudo Color Imagery
Provided by NASA World Wind. However 1975 aerial photo's show that
this dam did not exist in 1975.

The actual location of the world longest beaver dam (that is until
someone find a longer one) is just south of Lac Claire,and about 190
km to the NNE of Fort McMurray, just inside Wood Buffalo National
Park.
