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:
