Ponca Wilderness Hiking

Exerpts from the Wilderness Act of 1964 … Wilderness is:
“…an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.”
“…land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation.”
“…affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man’s work substantially unnoticeable.”

 

Many popular trails occur in the Upper District of the river in the Ponca Wilderness. Wilderness ethics and rules may be reviewed in the Trails of Ponca Wilderness brochure.
