Kakwa Provincial Park and Protected Area

The park extends across 170,890 hectares of mountainous terrain, featuring Mount Sir Alexander at 3,270 meters and Mount Ida reaching 3,189 meters.

The establishment of Kakwa Provincial Park in 1987 marked a significant step in preserving the northernmost section of the Continental Ranges.

The park's name comes from the Cree language word for porcupine, reflecting the native wildlife that has inhabited these lands for generations.

Three public cabins at Kakwa Lake operate on a first-come basis, accommodating four people each and providing shelter during summer and winter activities.

The park forms part of the Kakwa-Willmore Interprovincial Park, connecting British Columbia's protected areas with Alberta's Willmore Wilderness Park.
