The Green Bowl

The Green Bowl is a gorge just southeast of Kinuseo Falls at the north end of Monkman Provincial Park^[1] in the Northern Rockies of British Columbia, Canada, northeast of the city of Prince George and south of the community of Tumbler Ridge.

A grazing pasture surrounded by gorge walls, The Green Bowl is described in its British Columbia Geographical Names Information System entry as:

"The Green Bowl was a place of serenity and beauty. Each end narrowed to a rock cleft which could be sealed off by poles to prevent the horses wandering. A stream flowed throughout its length widening to a pond near the middle. Sixty foot rock cliffs lined it on both sides. It was approximately 1/2 mile long." (December 1979 letter from Guy Moore to Geographical Names Secretariat, Ottawa, file M.2.54).^[1]

Name origin

So-named by Isobel McNaught Perry of Beaverlodge, Alberta, some years before the building of the Monkman Pass Highway 1937-39 (from: "People of the Pass", published by Beaverlodge & District Historical Association, 1988).^[1]
