Kwadacha Wilderness Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the larger Muskwa-Kechika Management Area,[2] which include to the north of the Kwadacha the Northern Rocky Mountains Provincial Park and Stone Mountain Provincial Park.[3]

Accessibility

It is approximately 160 km (100 mi) southwest of Fort Nelson, and there is no road access. The standard way to access the park is through horseback or by aircraft.[3] It is about 150 km (90 mi) of backpacking to reach the park from Alaska Highway, and there are many treacherous river crossings. It is advised that backpackers plan for 12 to 14 days of backpacking for safety.[4]

The park is open year round to anyone who manages to get there. Wilderness, backcountry, or walk-in camping are allowed, but there are no facilities provided.[4]
