Description
"The Bow River is a river in the Canadian province of Alberta. It begins in the Rocky Mountains and winds through the Alberta foothills onto the prairies where it meets the Oldman River, the two then forming the South Saskatchewan River. These waters ultimately flow through the Nelson River into Hudson Bay. The Bow River runs through Banff National Park and the city of Calgary, taking in the Elbow River at the historic site of Fort Calgary near the city's downtown. The Bow River pathway, developed along the river's banks, is considered a part of Calgary's self-image. The name "Bow" refers to the reeds that grew along its banks and were used by the local First Nations peoples to make bows; the Peigan name for the river is "Makhabn", meaning "river where bow reeds grow"." - Wikipedia
