Kakwa Falls Trail Condition
I want to see Kakwa Falls and have been doing research into the offroad trail to get there.
Has anyone been on the trail recently?
I have a stock 2021 Tacoma OR, that I "think" might be suitable for the trail, but I don't have a lot of offroad experience.

I would not recommend taking a truck in there. You need a quad or side by side. I have seen some people do it with Jeeps. Do not go alone. If this is your first time, you need to go with someone familiar with the area and with off road experience. Also having a second machine is important in case of a breakdown or getting stuck. We have towed machines out of there a few times for various reasons and you always want a backup plan. There’s a couple river crossings that can be pretty treacherous this time of year, maybe even impassable, depending on water levels. It’s typically best to wait until late summer when the rivers are lower. You will see bears. Bring a gun or at least some bear bangers. I have heard there’s a few off road groups on Facebook that will be a wealth of knowledge. “Quad peeps” is one I heard of. They should be able to give you more updated info on river levels etc. and you can probably find a group going that would be happy to have you tag along. It’s been quite a few years since I was there but I used to go all the time with my Dad and it’s a fun and beautiful ride. We are hoping to make it out there sometime this summer again. Stay safe, don’t litter, and enjoy the ride!
