Wild Areas in Nevada
Welcome to Wild Nevada. From the stark Black Rock
Desert Wilderness to the snow capped peak of Mt. Charleston Wilderness
towering over Las Vegas, to the golden aspen forests of the High Schells
Wilderness near Ely, Nevada’s beauty is a secret we are sharing with
you.
We are so lucky that almost 90% of Nevada is
public land owned by us, the citizens of this country so we really can
enjoy these special places with no “keep out” signs.
Our wild areas in Nevada are managed for us by
the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, the National Park
Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service.
You can explore these wild areas by region with a
click on the map to the right, or by clicking a county name. You can
also see Nevada's wilderness by clicking a type category below:

feel should also be considered for wilderness designation.
