High River, Rural town in southern Alberta, Canada

High River spans across the banks of the Highwood River, located 68 kilometers south of Calgary at the junction of Highways 2 and 23.

The Blackfoot First Nation originally inhabited this area, calling it Ispitzee, and European settlers established a permanent community here in 1870.

The Museum of the Highwood preserves local heritage through exhibits of artifacts, photographs, and documents that tell the story of this region.

The Bob Snodgrass Recreation Complex provides indoor swimming, fitness facilities, and sports programs for residents throughout the calendar year.

Television productions including Superman III, Heartland, Fargo, and The Last of Us selected High River as a filming location.
