Beaver Basin Wilderness Area

Beaver Basin Wilderness Area is an 11,748-acre federally protected wilderness in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, managed by the National Park Service. The area protects primitive backcountry where no roads, motorized vehicles, or mechanized travel are permitted—visitors must travel on foot or by other non-motorized means.

The wilderness offers backcountry hiking and backpacking for those seeking solitude and a genuine backcountry experience away from developed infrastructure. All visitors must follow Leave No Trace principles and wilderness regulations: pack out all waste, camp responsibly, and travel lightly across the land. Access is foot-traffic only, and the remoteness demands self-sufficiency and wilderness competence.
