TheLovett River is a shortriver in theAlbertafoothills. The Lovett is an earlytributary of thePembina River, itself a major tributary of theAthabasca River. The Lovett River was formerly known as theLittle Pembina River, but to avoid confusion its name was changed. The new name was derived from Lovettville, a defunctcoal mining town in the vicinity. The settlement took its name from H. A. Lovett, President of North American Collieries, a miningcompany in the area.[1]
The river forms in thefoothills south ofCoalspur, Alberta. It flows in a general southwest direction before being bridged byAlberta Highway 40/Alberta Highway 734. It passes through an active coal mining area and a few minornatural gas fields, as well as former coal mining towns that are nowghost towns. It then drains into thePembina River
