Kakwa Provincial Park and Protected Area

Kakwa Provincial Park and Protected Area, Provincial park and protected area in northeastern British Columbia, Canada

Kakwa Provincial Park and Protected Area spans 170,890 ha in eastern British Columbia, preserving the southern Hart Ranges and northern Continental Ranges. Its tallest summits are Mount Sir Alexander at 3,270 m and Mount Ida at 3,189 m. The Kakwa River rises in Kakwa Lake at the park's core, and the park holds important marine fossil deposits.

The protected area was established in 1987 to preserve the northernmost section of the Continental Ranges. This designation was part of broader efforts to protect the remote mountain landscape in northeastern British Columbia.

The name Kakwa comes from the Cree word for porcupine, and the river of that name rises in Kakwa Lake at the centre of the park. The Great Divide Trail ends at a trailhead on the Walker Creek Forest Service Road, the northern terminus of a route running from Waterton Lakes National Park on the US border.

Kakwa Lake lies about 100 km from the snowmobile staging site, so riders are advised to carry extra fuel. The park is the northern terminus of the Great Divide Trail, which ends at a trailhead on the Walker Creek Forest Service Road. Fishing is permitted in Kakwa Lake.

The protected area connects with Alberta's Willmore Wilderness Park across the provincial boundary, forming a single large wilderness zone. This cross-border arrangement allows wildlife to move freely between two major wild regions.
