Clearwater River, Alberta
Clearwater is a river of southern Alberta, Canada. Situated entirely in the Canadian Rockies and the Rocky Mountain foothills of Alberta, it is a glacier fed upper reach tributary of the North Saskatchewan River. The upper reach of the Clearwater has become popular for equestrian travelers due to the natural setting along the river.
When measuring from Trident Lake, the Clearwater River has a length of 203 kilometres (126 mi) and descends 350 metres (1,150 ft) to its end at Rocky Mountain House.

There is another and more significant river that flows through Alberta, also called the Clearwater River, which originates in northern Saskatchewan. This Clearwater River, designated as part of the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, flows 187 kilometres (116 mi) from its headwaters in Lloyd Lake in northwestern Saskatchewan, through Saskatchewan and Alberta and joins the Athabasca River at Fort McMurray in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, eventually reaching the Mackenzie River and the Arctic Ocean."The lack of significant oil sands developments means that the Clearwater River can be used as a baseline river system to provide information on the variability and characteristics of natural systems."
