It flows through the Canadian Rockies, and a section of the Icefields Parkway was built along its course. Mistaya River originates in Peyto Lake, a glacial lake of typical blue colour (due to rock flour). Mistaya flows north-west, receiving the waters of creeks such as Delta, Silverhorn, Cirque, Noyes, ChephrenTotem, Epaulette, Bison, Kaufmann and Sarback. A series of elongated lakes are formed along the river: Mistaya Lake and Waterfowl Lakes. Mistaya merges into the North Saskatchewan River at Saskatchewan River Crossing. From its headwaters of Peyto Creek, Mistaya River has a total length of 38 km. The origin of the name is from the Cree language - "mistaya" meens a grizzly bear.[1] [2] See also
