Overview

Garden River, also known as Garden Creek, is an unincorporated community in northern Alberta, Canada, within Wood Buffalo National Park. It is on the north shore of the Peace River at the terminus of Garden River Road, an extension of Highway 58, approximately 190 kilometres (120 mi) east of the town of High Level. It is a First Nations community of the Little Red River Cree Nation.

History & geography

History

Lying 5 kilometres inside the original 1922 boundary of Wood Buffalo National Park, this predominantly First Nations community was never officially recognized by the federal government, until a special amendment to the Canada National Parks Act removed the community from the park on June 19, 2017. Corresponding orders-in-council from the provincial government of Alberta are expected to facilitate the creation of a new Indian reserve encompassing Garden River's territory. This would become the third reserve of the Little Red River Cree Nation, after Fox Lake 162 and John D'Or Prairie 215.
