Course

The Snaring River rises in the northwestern section of Jasper National Park, near the British Columbia border. It flows east-southeast before joining the Athabasca River. The Snaring is fed by meltwater of numerous peaks, including Mount McCord, Mount Beaupre, Mount Knight, Mount Rutherford, and Snaring Mountain. The small Harvey Lake also drains into the Snaring. [Mussio Ventures. "Central Alberta Backroad Mapbook." Burnaby: Backroad Mapbooks (2002)] A campground run by Parks Canada is located on the Snaring near the Yellowhead Highway.
