Paddle River
The Paddle River is a short river in northern Alberta, Canada. Known as Pimiskāw sīpiy by the Cree, the river was named because of its slow speed. During the fur trade era, a canoe could be easily paddled up the river, in contrast to the more arduous task of ascending a swifter river like the Pembina River that required poling or tracking.
