There are are no memorials or plaques at the site detailing the historical significance of Bow Fort.

There is no public access to the remains of Bow Fort.

The property is considered sacred spiritual land to the native people and digging or removing any remaining artifacts is strictly forbidden.



Archeologists believe there may have been up to 11 chimneys at the fort.

The most reliable research data places the construction of the five-sided stockaded post at 1833, and that it was occupied for less than a year, abandoned in favor of Rocky Mountain House.

Historians remain perplexed why a fort of such extensive size was left permanently in such a short time.
