Exploring Edmonton’s River Valley

Our garden at the CN Tower highlights Edmonton’s majestic North Saskatchewan River Valley.

Known as Edmonton’s Ribbon of Green, the River Valley is 48 kilometres of natural and maintained parkland cutting through the heart of the city.
Original trading forts of Fort Saskatchewan and Edmonton House were established in 1795, and the Alberta Legislature looks over the original site of Fort Edmonton.
The four habitats of the river, deciduous forest, mixed woodlands, and floodplains boast a diversity of wildlife and vegetation for this bustling urban center.
The North Saskatchewan River originates in the Canadian Rockies, just four hours east of Edmonton.
