Dragon Cone is a dormant cinder cone located in Wells Gray-Clearwater Volcanic Field, British Columbia. It is the source of a 15 km long "Dragon's Tongue" lava flow that dams Clearwater Lake. Dragon Cone is radiocarbon dated at about 7600 years ago. Flows from nearby Flourmill Cone, Kostal Cone and Spanish Lake Cones rest on glaciated bedrock without an intervening paleosol, suggesting an early Holocene age.
