The Ram River is a river rising in the Alberta Rocky Mountains. It flows eastward, taking on the North Ram River, before joining the North Saskatchewan River[1] near the Town of Rocky Mountain House. The name Ram Rivulet appears on a David Thompson map of 1814. A ram is a male Rocky Mountain Sheep.[2]
