HISTORY OF SIMONETTE RIVER, ALBERTA

Surveys of this area as early as 1879 referred to this river as Simonette or Moose River. Others believed the River got its name in the 1930's when Simon Walker was living on the river. In 1980 the Peace Country Pioneer (a Summer Riding Camp) was established at Simonette River.

Off-road vehicles, quads motorbikes, are prohibited within the park area which also includes the shore of the river or the riverbed. No boats are allowed to launch their boats in the park.

Because of the shallow water at this point of the Simonette River, many people feel it is an ideal location for swimming or floating down the river.
