Clearwater River, Brook in British Columbia, Canada
The Clearwater River flows through southern Alberta, beginning at Devon Lakes in Banff National Park and extending 203 kilometers to Rocky Mountain House.
In 1778, Peter Pond established a significant fur trade route by navigating the river system and creating the Methye Portage connection.
Indigenous groups, including Beaver, Chipewyan, and Cree people, inhabited the territories near the Clearwater River approximately 5,000 years ago.
The river becomes navigable by canoe two kilometers downstream from Clearwater Lake, though paddling remains unsafe until reaching Timber Creek.
The Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program utilizes this river as a baseline system for studying natural water conditions without oil sands development impacts.
