River Valley Factoid
The Capital Region River Valley Park (CRRVP) was the main area for gold mining along the entire length of the North Saskatchewan River. Gold mining in the Capital Region River Valley Park reached its peak between 1895 and 1907. During that time, approximately 300 miners worked the principal paying bars within 100km of Edmonton.
