you go in from GP side or from Grande Cache? from the GC side you have to cross the Kakwa river like 7 or 9 times. I have an old pack horse map from an SRD guy, would love to get in there somedayBunch of us gonna do an overnighter to the lower Kakwa Falls in the next while, probably wait a bit yet. Went last year in early October , crossings were ok. Beautiful place in the fall.
A few of us so want to do this run also sheep creek/lower Kakwa to. Really Great pics.
no, it was grown in bad past the old airstrip at the end of the Copton where the old forestry camp was. we tried to get in there and never made it to the river. lots of deadfall, needs some serious saw work to get in that way. we tried to pick our way around some of it, but the bush is so thick in some places it was impossible to get thru without beating the sh!t out of the machines.I've never came towards lower falls from Grande cache side only from Porcupine or last time from the chicken road , lot of road riding tho from the gates to the kakwa, PITA. is it easier from the sheep creek or beaver dam roads.

we used aerial maps from the same guy to get to the Kakwa years back, you could see the old trail in some places but we did a lot of bushwacking. took us 7 hrs to get there from the flats by the Beaverdam Rd. went back in 2012 and someone had been in there and sawed up all the big deadfall, took 4.5 hours that trip. we did it on Sunday in 2hrs and 45 mins. water is way low, you have to cross the Copton creek 4 or 5 times and it was the lowest I'd seen it. you could pretty much cross where you wanted. Kakwa is way low too.
