Cocoa Crater, Volcanic crater in Tahltan Highland, Canada.

Cocoa Crater is a hawaiitic cinder cone of the Big Raven Formation, the largest subaerial cone in the Snowshoe Lava Field at the southern end of the Big Raven Plateau. It rises to 2,117 metres beside Tencho Glacier, the largest glacier of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex, and holds a volcanic crater at its summit. Its deep colours gave it the name.

Cocoa Crater was officially named on May 6, 1954, and adopted on National Topographic System map 104G. It is a hawaiitic cinder cone of the Big Raven Formation, the youngest stratigraphic unit of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. Its construction took place during the Holocene, accompanied by eruptions of lava and pyroclastic rocks. Canadian volcanologist Jack Souther assigned it the numeronym SLF-10 in his 1992 report on the complex.

The crater sits within lands long inhabited by First Nations communities. These indigenous peoples have shaped how the landscape is understood and used over many generations.

Reaching the crater requires preparation since the area is remote and sits roughly 38 kilometers southeast of Telegraph Creek. Hikers should expect rough conditions and bring good navigation skills or local guidance.

The crater is easily recognizable by the thick ash deposits that blanket the surrounding area. This feature sets it apart noticeably from nearby Coffee Crater, which has a distinctly different look.
