Bosque del Apache Wilderness, Wildlife reserve in Socorro County, New Mexico, United States.

Bosque del Apache Wilderness is a 30,427-acre designated Wilderness Area on the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in Socorro County, New Mexico, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is split into three units: the 19,859-acre Little San Pascual Wilderness, the 5,429-acre Chupadera Wilderness and the 5,139-acre Indian Well Unit. The refuge itself covers 57,331 acres along both banks of the Rio Grande, between the Chupadera Mountains to the west and the San Pascual Mountains to the east.

The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1939 to protect a stopover for migrating waterfowl such as sandhill cranes and geese. The Bosque del Apache Wilderness itself was designated in 1975 under the Wilderness Act of 1964, covering 30,427 acres in three units: Little San Pascual (19,859 acres), Chupadera (5,429 acres) and Indian Well (5,139 acres).

The name Bosque del Apache refers to the cottonwood groves along the Rio Grande, once used by Apache peoples. Today the refuge's Festival of the Cranes, held each November, brings birders and photographers together to watch sandhill cranes and snow geese arrive for the winter.

The three units are day-use only: no overnight camping, and access is limited to the hours from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. Motorized vehicles, bicycles and horses are prohibited. Two developed trails exist, the 9.2-mile Chupadera Wilderness National Recreation Trail and the 2.2-mile Canyon National Recreation Trail; off-trail hiking is allowed.

The Wilderness Act of 1964 governs all three units, so bicycles, horses and motorized vehicles are barred even on the two developed trails. Hikers may enter only between one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset, and no overnight camping is allowed. Off-trail walking is permitted, and the 9.2-mile Chupadera Trail climbs more than 1,800 feet from the Chihuahuan Desert floor to the top of Chupadera Mountain.
