Welcome to Edmonton River Valley. Edmonton, Alberta and the surrounding communities enjoy the privilege of sharing one of the longest urban stretches of River Valley Parkland in an urban area in North America at 7,400 hectares, located along the North Saskatchewan River. There are 22 major parks and over 150 kilometres of trails on which you can enjoy walks, bike rides, picnics, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and more. Edmonton Artist Richard Dixon resides in Riverdale, beside the river,and has spent years documenting and painting the scenes of the Valley from before the arrival of the first explorers up to the present day. This site serves as a showcase of Richard's work as well as providing information and links to information regarding the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Enjoy your visit.
