It is said that in the 1700’s, The Beaver Tribe and the invading Cree Tribe battled many times in this area. The Hudson’s Bay Company established the Battle River House trading post upstream from the mouth of the Notikewin River. The Battle River House was located east of the mouth of the Notikewin River and was in use for almost 30 years. Time has erased most of the evidence of the post but traces of a cabin built in the 1920’s for use by trappers can still be seen south of the day use area.
