Little Ocean Draw Wilderness Area

Little Ocean Draw Wilderness Area spans nearly 23,000 acres of federally protected backcountry in Utah, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This is primitive country: no roads, motors, or mechanized travel are permitted. The landscape offers a mix of terrain suitable for foot travel, drawing visitors seeking solitude and untracked exploration in a true wilderness setting.

Backpacking and hiking are the primary ways to experience the area. Water and shade may be limited depending on the season and location, so come prepared with a map, self-sufficiency, and knowledge of Leave No Trace principles. All visitors must pack out what they pack in, camp responsibly away from water sources, and respect the non-motorized character that defines this wilderness. Spring and fall can offer moderate conditions, though weather in Utah's high-desert country can shift quickly.
