Beaver Creek Wilderness is a 4,791-acre (19 km2) wilderness area located in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It was designated wilderness in 1979 and is managed by the Stearns Ranger District of the Daniel Boone National Forest.[1] Located beneath the clifflines of the Beaver Creek Drainage, Beaver Creek Wilderness is almost entirely enclosed by sandstone cliffs. Below these high walls are natural arches and rock shelters used by Native Americans and early settlers.[2]
