The Kakwa River is a tributary of the Smoky River in western Alberta, Canada.

The river is named for Kakwa, the Cree word for porcupine.[1] Porcupines are abundant in Kakwa Provincial Park and Protected Area.

Tourism along the river revolves around bull trout fishing and white water rafting. Kakwa Falls (54°06′33″N 119°55′25″W / 54.10913°N 119.92350°W / 54.10913; -119.92350 (Kakwa Falls)) are developed in the course of the river, over a 30-metre (98 ft) high ledge formed by an outcrop of the Cadomin Formation.[2] The area was designated a protected wildland (Kakwa Wildland Park).[3] It can be accessed through the forestry road network south of Highway 666, approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) south of Two Lakes Provincial Park.
