Dragon cone is a dormant cinder cone located in Wells Gray-Clearwater Volcanic Field, British Columbia. Dragon cone 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 and flows from Flourmill Cone, Kostal Cone and Spanish Lake Cones rest on glaciated bedrock without an intervening paleosol suggesting an early Holocene age.
