The Little Huson Cave system is a karst landscape formed by water eroding a deep limestone formation. You can explore natural limestone arches, dramatic cave entrances, sculpted rock platforms, and a large natural bridge over Atluck Creek, which is carved by the clear, emerald pools of Little Huson Lake. A short, winding trail leads to these formations, and while it's open year-round for day use, exploring some areas may require wading through water. 

Getting There:

• From Highway 19, turn into Woss.

• Continue west on Nimpkish Mainline (gravel road).

• Follow signs to Atluck Lake / Anutz Lake, then toward Little Huson Caves (some signage, but bring a backroads map or GPS).

• The park is accessed via a small pullout with a sign and a trailhead.

• Park and walk approximately 200 meters to the cave lookout.

Note: The roads are active logging roads—yield to industrial traffic, use headlights, and drive cautiously. No cell service past Woss.

Limestone karst landscapes are ecologically sensitive and culturally significant

Visitors are asked to explore only established trails and not enter cave systems, which are fragile and potentially unsafe
