Nenikekh/Nanika-Kidprice Park is reached from Houston by the Morice River Forest Service Road, Morice Lake Road, and a seven-kilometre spur to Lamprey Lake. BC Parks says public vehicles are permitted on the radio-controlled logging road, but loaded logging trucks have the right of way.
The park contains a four-lake wilderness chain: Lamprey, Anzac, Stepp, and Kidprice lakes.
This is a popular multi-day canoeing destination in a deep valley between the Sibola mountain range and the Morice Range. The 30-kilometre return route can be done in three days, but BC Parks says five to six days allow time to explore alpine meadows on Tableland Mountain and the Sibola Range.
Portage trails link the lakes and waterways, with 4.5 kilometres of portages in total. Nanika Falls is a focal point: the falls drop 18 metres from Kidprice Lake into the Nanika River. Wildlife, waterfowl, beaches, mountain scenery, and backcountry campsites round out the route.
Canoe the lake chain, camp in backcountry sites, portage between lakes, swim without soap use in the lakes, hike to Nanika Falls, explore unmaintained alpine routes if prepared, fish with a licence, and watch wildlife.
There are no water taps; boil or filter all water. Strong winds are common, so paddle early and stay close to shore. Do not paddle down the Nanika River toward the falls, use bear-proof caches where available, and avoid the small island on Stepp Lake, which is closed to camping and day use.
