Primitive Area

A Primitive Area is a designated natural space within a protected area, such as a national forest or park, where human development and infrastructure are restricted to preserve its wild characteristics. These areas focus on maintaining the natural environment, including plants, animals, and landscapes, with minimal human impact. Usually, activities like hiking or camping are allowed, but structures, roads, and mechanized equipment are generally restricted. The goal is to offer a truly wilderness experience and safeguard ecosystems in their most pristine state for future generations and ecological health.
