Flowing for more than 1,200 kilometres from the Columbia Icefield in the Canadian Rockies to central Saskatchewan, the North Saskatchewan River has shaped Edmonton's landscape for thousands of years. Here, the river winds through a broad valley lined with forests, and parkland, creating one of the largest urban river valley systems in North America. The constantly changing water levels, sandbars, and riverside habitat support a wide variety of wildlife and make the river the defining feature of this part of the city.
