It is the highest elevation between Kamloops and 100 Mile House on the west side of the North Thompson River. HistoryThe park was established on April 30, 1996. The area was previously a pack-trail connecting Pass Lake and Porcupine Ridge, though the area is now unsettled. WildlifeWildlife in the area includes many bird species including sandhill cranes, as well as moose and mule deer. Recreational access and facilitiesPark access is from the southeast off of Watching Creek Forest Service Road. There is no motorized access through the park itself, other than snowmobile access in the winter.[3] Passing through the park is the Masters Sub-alpine Trek hiking trail, which is currently in a state of disrepair due to surrounding logging[4]. The park can also be accessed by snowshoe and via horseback on designated trails. The park is considered a wilderness area with limited patrols. There are no formal facilities within the park. An old forestry lookout is present and can serve as an emergency lookout.[5] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://britishcolumbia.com/things-to-do-and-see/parks-and-trails/thompson-okanagan/porcupine-meadows-provincial-park/|title=Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park – British Columbia Travel and Adventure Vacations|website=britishcolumbia.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-02-13}} 2. ^{{Cite book|title=Why That Name?
