# List of U.S. state and tribal wilderness areas

List of wilderness areas designated by U.S. state and tribal governments. Eight states had designated wilderness programs in 2002 while some other states had designated wildernesses. In 2002, the 9 state programs had 74 wilderness areas with a total protected area of 2,668,903 acres (10,800.7km2). Florida had 10 wilderness areas until their authorizing legislation was repealed in 1989.
For federally designated wildernesses, see List of U.S. wilderness areas. There are also privately owned areas called wildernesses like the Nature Conservancy's 12,000 acre (49 km$^2$) Disney Wilderness Preserve in Florida.
