Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park, Provincial park in Thompson-Nicola District, Canada.
The park spans 2,704 hectares across the Thompson Plateau, featuring wetlands, old-growth forests, and two lakes: Alexander Lake and Carlo Lake.
The park was established on April 30, 1996, after the area had long served as a pack-trail connection between Pass Lake and Porcupine Ridge.
The name originates from the Shuswap word 'pisitsoolsia', reflecting the numerous porcupines inhabiting this mountainous region throughout history.
Visitors access the park via Watching Creek Forest Service Road, with winter activities including snowmobiling and summer activities focusing on hiking.
The park contains Silwhoiakun Mountain at 1,870 meters elevation, making it the highest point between Kamloops and 100 Mile House west of North Thompson River.
