The 10,500-acre Fishhooks Wilderness is managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Arizona.

In 1990, this wilderness became part of the now over 109-million-acre National Wilderness Preservation System established by the Wilderness Act of 1964. In wilderness, you can enjoy challenging recreational activities and extraordinary opportunities for solitude.

Please follow the regulations in place for this area, and use Leave No Trace techniques when visiting to ensure protection of its unique natural and experiential qualities. Motorized equipment and equipment used for mechanical transport are generally prohibited on all federal lands designated as wilderness. This includes the use of motor vehicles (including OHVs), motorboats, bicycles, hang gliders, wagons, carts, portage wheels, and the landing of aircraft including helicopters.

Contact the agency for more information about regulations. Obtain a recreation permit from the San Carlos Apache Indian Tribe before crossing Reservation lands.

Fees

There are no permits, passes, or fees required to visit this wilderness area. It is free. Visitors should note that entering the adjacent San Carlos Indian Reservation, which shares the wilderness’ northeastern border, requires a recreation permit from the tribe. Commercial, competitive, and large organized group events require a special recreation permit. Contact the local managing field office for more information about special recreation permits. Recreational activities on any nearby state trust land require a permit from the State of Arizona.
