Blackjack Springs Wilderness Area

Summary

Blackjack Springs Wilderness area. 1st annual bushcraft gathering. Nothing like a nice evening in a wilderness. A woodsman's camp. Reactions: pab1. The mineral-resource potential of the Blackjack Springs Wilderness in northern Wisconsin was evaluated. The lack of bedrock exposures in or near the wilderness and the thick mantle of glacial sediments precludes a detailed assessment of the mineral potential of the wilderness. If you are looking for some great wilderness to explore, this is your ticket. Blackjack Springs State Natural Area Vilas County has 30 State Natural Areas,Oneida County has 22, and more are being added all the time. Phelps is located within this 650,000-acre national forest, which offers great camping, fishing, hiking and hunting to visitors. The forest also contains five designated wilderness areas, including the 5,800-acre Blackjack Springs Wilderness Area and its series of four large, crystal-clear springs forming the headwaters of Blackjack Creek.
