From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cline River is a short river in western Alberta, Canada. It flows from from Pinto Lake in northern Banff National Park, and joins the North Saskatchewan River at Lake Abraham in west-central Alberta.
Pinto Lake is located north of Sunset Pass. The lake is fed from the glacial meltwater of Minister Mountain, Mount Coleman, and Cirrus Mountain. The river then flows directly west, emptying into Lake Abraham.
The Cardinal river, as well as Mount Cline and Cline Pass, are named for Michael Cline. Cline was employed as a fur trader by the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company.[1]
