Description:

This lesser-known Provincial Park is located near the community of Dunster, BC. While researching this area and making several recon trips we are providing this information and updating it as we learn more.

In order to properly protect this fragile ecosystem, we require that all cavers get permission from BC Parks at:

Small River Caves Provincial Park Location: here

Created through the efforts of the Robson Valley Land and Resource Management Plan and the Protected Areas Strategy, Small River Caves Park protects a provincially important karst and cave system. 

Located on the west side of the Small River drainage, high above the valley bottom, this cave complex is remote and difficult to access. It is considered to be a very dangerous cave system that should only be attempted by highly experienced cavers. 

*Note: the track in the map (and below) is the drive from the rest area to the end of where you can drive. The last several kilometers should use a high-clearance 4×4 vehicle as the narrow, one-lane road is muddy and easy to get stuck.

If you wish to get the gpx track of the trail, we are only sharing (by request) with experienced backcountry people at this time to avoid contributing to search and rescue outcomes.

This 1,818 hectare park lies at the transition zone between Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSFmm1) and the Alpine Tundra (AT) biogeoclimatic zones. The Small River logging road accesses the drainage, but one must be aware of logging truck traffic at all times.
