The name "Bow" refers to the reeds that grew along its banks and which were used by the local First Nations people to make bows; the Peigan name for the river is "Makhabn", meaning "river where bow weeds grow".
Bow Valley Provincial Park is established east of the Canadian Rockies in the arch of the valley, while the upper course of the Bow River flows through the Banff National Park. The Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park is located between the Banff National Park and Canmore in the Bow River Valley.
