Gee Creek Wilderness

Gee Creek Wilderness is a 2,580-acre federally protected Wilderness Area in Tennessee, managed by the Forest Service. It offers backcountry hiking and backpacking in a primitive, non-motorized environment where solitude and self-reliance are central to the experience.

The wilderness follows strict federal protection rules: no roads, motors, or mechanized travel are permitted. Visitors must practice Leave No Trace principles and travel on foot. Access is typically seasonal and depends on trailhead conditions and weather; spring snowmelt and winter storms can make passage difficult. Check with the Forest Service for current access information and any restrictions before planning a trip.
