Kwadacha Wilderness Provincial Park, Provincial park in Peace River Regional District, Canada.
Kwadacha Wilderness Provincial Park is a nature reserve in the Muskwa mountain range with about 25 peaks, including Mount Lloyd George at its highest point. The landscape features steep mountains, valleys, and thick forests spread across a large undeveloped area.
European traders arrived in the region in 1805 and set up trading posts. The rock layers formed over millions of years from marine sediments before tectonic forces lifted them into mountain ranges.
The territory has been home to Dene and Métis peoples for generations. Visitors walking through the land can sense its deep importance to these communities and their connection to the landscape.
Getting to the park requires a demanding multi-day hike of about 150 kilometers from the Alaska Highway. Visitors should come well prepared and allow plenty of time for this remote trek.
The park contains two distinct ecological zones: the alpine Fescue zone and the Spruce-Willow-Birch zone. This geographic separation creates different habitats and makes the area ecologically diverse in surprising ways.
