About the peace river
The Peace River is a 1,923 km long river that flows through British Columbia and Alberta in Canada. The river has a rich history, as it was used by Indigenous peoples for trade and transportation centuries before European settlement in the region. Today, the Peace River is used for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation purposes, with several reservoirs and dams along its length, including the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, the largest hydroelectric dam in British Columbia. The Peace River is also a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The river provides irrigation water for agricultural use, which is important for the productive farmland located in the Peace River Valley.
