Kap-Kig-Iwan Provincial Park is a sightseeing and campground destination located in the Northern Ontario Wilderness Region nearest the community of Englehart, Ontario, Canada.

The Kap-Kig-Iwan Provincial Park was first established in 1957 on the northern boundaries of the Little Clay Belt. The belt is one of the richest farming areas in Northern Ontario.

The name of Kap-Kig-Iwan comes from the mother tongue of the Ojibway First Nation people meaning, "water running over the edge."

The highlights of the 428 hectare (1057 acres) park are the plunging waterfalls on the Englehart River, the hiking trails and the blooming wildflower meadow during the spring season.

Surrounding the river and the waterfalls is a boreal forest consisting of aspen, birch, aspen, white elm, black ash and red and white pine trees. Exploring the forest and the banks of the river are some hiking trails.

Hell's Gate Trail (2.5 km return) : A moderately challenging trail following the banks of the Englehart River visiting with waterfalls and deep gorges.

Cedar Trail (4.5 km): An easy going trail leading to a 150 year old cedar tree and some views of the Englehart River.

Upland Circle Trail (5 km ) : A moderately challenging trail exploring a forest of pine and poplar trees.

For those wishing to stay overnight and enjoy the views there is a campground. The campground provides serviced campsites and a group camping area including showers and a day use area.
