Castor Creek (Alberta)

Castor Creek is a watercourse in Alberta, Canada.[1] It is a tributary of the Battle River. Castor Creek was named from the Latin word meaning "beaver".[2]

The Castor Creek was dammed up in 1949. This changed the once narrow creek into something that resembles a long narrow winding lake.

In the town of Castor, there is access to the creek for kayaking, paddle boarding, and other water activities.[3]
