The Wolf River is a river located in Alberta, Canada. It flows through areas like the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87 and Lac La Biche County. This river is part of the large Hudson Bay drainage basin, which means its waters eventually reach Hudson Bay. The Wolf River is a smaller river that flows into the Sand River.

The River's Journey

The Wolf River starts in a swamp that doesn't have a specific name. From its source, the river flows west until it reaches Wolf Lake. After leaving Wolf Lake, the river continues its journey towards the west. Finally, it empties into the Sand River. The water from the Sand River then flows into the Beaver River, which connects to the Churchill River. All this water eventually makes its way to Hudson Bay.
