Soldier Creek Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in northwestern Nebraska, United States.
The 7,794-acre territory contains grassy upland parks that merge into Ponderosa pine-covered ridges within the Nebraska National Forest system.
The area served as a training ground for military personnel stationed at Fort Robinson from the 1870s through World War II.
Native American tribes traversed these lands before European settlement, leaving behind evidence of their presence in the surrounding region.
Visitors can access multiple marked trails that connect to Fort Robinson State Park, with maps available at the Forest Service office in Chadron.
In 1989, a substantial wildfire affected 90 percent of the wilderness, leading to natural regeneration processes that continue today.
