About

Imported description
The Scab Creek WSA encompasses 7,636 acres. This area was originally established and managed as a primitive area in 1975. In April 1985, the Scab Creek Instant Study Area was proposed by former president Ronald Reagan for addition to the National Wilderness Preservation System. The Scab Creek WSA adjoins the Bridger Wilderness in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, which lies to the east. The WSA offers extraordinary natural wilderness features and ample opportunity for solitary wilderness experiences.
