Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park

Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park is a 2,704-hectare protected area in British Columbia on the southern end of the Bonaparte Plateau, northwest of Kamloops and north of Tranquille Lake. Its name directly translates the Shuswap word pisitsoolsia, reflecting the many porcupines associated with the area. Established on April 30, 1996, the park preserves a high-elevation landscape of sub-alpine wetlands, meadows, and old-growth forest at the highest elevation between Kamloops and 100 Mile House on the west side of the North Thompson River. It remains a lightly developed wilderness area supporting sandhill cranes, other birds, moose, and mule deer.
