The Bighorn River is a short river originating in the Alberta foothills, and is a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River .[1] Bighorn Range and Bighorn Dam are named for the Bighorn sheep which dominate the area. The name first appeared in 1865.[2]
Flowing under Mount McGuire , Bighorn River soon takes on Littlehorn and Sunkay Creeks, before plummeting over the impressive Crescent Falls . After the falls, the Bighorn travels through a significant canyon, before passing through the Bighorn Indian Reserve. The river then empties into the North Saskatchewan River after Lake Abraham .[3]
