LaVerkin Creek Wilderness

The LaVerkin Creek Wilderness spans 445 acres of protected land with steep canyon walls descending into LaVerkin Creek at 6,800 feet elevation.

The United States Congress designated this wilderness area on March 30, 2009, through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act to protect natural landscapes.

The Bureau of Land Management oversees this wilderness area, which connects to Zion National Park and maintains strict preservation guidelines for future generations.

Visitors must obtain permits at the Wilderness Desk for camping in designated areas, with sites accommodating between 2 and 12 people per location.

The lower reach of Bear Canyon occupies the northwest corner, while LaVerkin Creek, classified as a wild river, flows through dense vegetation of pines.
