The town of Banff is located in the Bow River Valley and, as you might deduce from that, the Bow River runs through it and through town.
The name "Bow" refers to the reeds that grew along its banks and which were used by the local First Nations peoples to make bows.

Wow! Another wonderful sight. Love the origins of the name.
