Kakwa Wildland Park is a provincial park in the Rocky Mountain Foothills just east of the northern Canadian Rockies, in Alberta, Canada,[2] immediately east of the border with British Columbia at the 120th meridian west. The park is home to Alberta's tallest waterfall, the Kakwa Falls, which is 30 metres tall.[3]

It adjoins Willmore Wilderness Park and British Columbia's Kakwa Provincial Park and Protected Area and together with them comprises the first interprovincial park shared between BC and Alberta.[4][5]

It takes the name from Kakwa, the Cree word for porcupine.[6]
