Marron River

The Marron River is a very small and short river in southern British Columbia, located just west of Skaha Lake at a length of 7.8 km.

[6] Marama Creek, the river’s only officially named tributary, enters the lake’s south shore.

The river enters an unnamed lake that is located about 0.4 km west of Skaha that has no above-ground outlet.

According to Mrs. William Allen and Mr. F. M. Buckland, a lot of wild horses roamed the area around the river, which is likely why the river was given the name it was in reference to the wild horses that roamed the surrounding terrain.

The river’s source lake, Aeneas Lake, was named after a member of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas by the name of Little Aeneas.
