San Juan Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in northern Washington, United States.
The San Juan Wilderness encompasses 353 acres of diverse terrain, including submerged mountains that form islands, islets, rocks, and reefs along the Pacific coast.
Designated in 1976 as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, this area marks the meeting point of Georgia Strait, Juan de Fuca Strait, and Puget Sound.
The area contains 83 designated pieces of land serving as sanctuaries for numerous bird species, including gulls, cormorants, guillemots, puffins, and bald eagles.
Access to the wilderness requires boats from Anacortes or Friday Harbor, with only Turn Island and Matia Island permitting public visitation throughout the year.
The wilderness features a 200-yard buffer zone surrounding closed islands to protect nesting, resting, and feeding birds within the maritime wildlife refuge complex.
