Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness, Wilderness area on Fire Island, United States.
The 1,380-acre protected area extends for seven miles along the eastern section of Fire Island, featuring pine forests, wetlands, and coastal dunes.
The United States Congress established this wilderness area in 1980, naming it after New York Congressman Otis G. Pike who supported Fire Island conservation.
Indigenous groups including the Unkechaug, Secatogue, Shinnecock, and Montaukett used this land for seasonal hunting and gathering before European settlement.
Visitors need permits for backcountry camping and must access the area through Smith Point County Park or Watch Hill on foot.
The remains of the Bessie A. White shipwreck from 1922 lie within the protected area, marking Fire Island's maritime heritage.
