Wilderness areas
One of our nation's greatest treasures is the National Wilderness Preservation System established by the Wilderness Act of 1964. Wildernesses are lands designated by Congress to be protected and preserved in their natural condition, without permanent improvements or habitation.
Please view the special regulations associated with Wilderness and accept the Leave No Trace challenge. Help our wildlands remain wild, clean, and pristine!
Maps are available for these areas.
