The Amisk River is a river in east-central Alberta in the basin of the Beaver River (Canada). The Amisk River forms at Amisk Lake (Alberta) and travels in a south-east direction, flowing through the Buffalo Lake and Kikino Metis settlements before being bridged by Alberta Highway 36. It joins the Beaver River near Alberta Secondary Highway 866. Amisk is the Cree name for beaver.[1]
