Frank Slide Interpretive Centre
Highlight • Museum
Perched above the slide, the interpretive centre overlooks the entire rockfall path and provides one of the best views of the disaster site. Inside, exhibits, films, and personal accounts tell the story of the 1903 slide, the mining town of Frank, and the geology of Turtle Mountain. Even from outside, the viewpoint helps put the scale of the slide into perspective.

Frank Slide Interpretive Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
The Frank Slide Interpretive Trail takes you through the aftermath of one of Canada's deadliest natural disasters. In 1903, part of Turtle Mountain collapsed and buried a section of the mining town of Frank beneath millions of tonnes of rock. Today, this easy loop weaves through the massive limestone boulders left behind, with interpretive signs explaining the disaster and the landscape it created.
