The forest service has signs that mark the boundaries of wilderness areas. Keep your eyes open and you should see them.
They have signs on the trails, but if you don't hike in on an established trail you won't see a sign.  :twocents:

They have big signs on the trails and when you are off trail they have signs nailed to trees roughly 10-15' off the ground. I'm not sure on the exact spacing of the signs and they are very easy to walk right by.

Get yourself a Forest Service map. You can buy them at Ranger Stations. If you have a GPS, use the national forest service layered maps. The wilderness boundaries are shown on those. I use the Gaia GPS  app for my iPhone. All of the topo, satellite, and forest service maps are free. Great offline use with that app as well. It will outperform every handheld GPS I have ever seen. Boundaries, trails and everything else you could ever want to see on a map are there.

Make sure you get something to show you the boundaries. You don't want to be hunting accidentally in a none wilderness area. Those boundaries change direction and it would be very easy to wander outside of them when trekking through the bush off trail.

Download US topo maps on your phone.  It will show you exactly where you are at and the wilderness boundary

If memory serves , from where you are talking about there is a wooden sign on a post down the trail that says "Passayten wilderness".  or something to that effect.  I wish I could find my picts .

Alrite thanks for the comments guys found a good map online. My honey hole isn't in the area but another spot that me and I'm sure 50 others guys like is. Good luck to you all and I can't wait to bust my a**  solo for a weak in my favorite place on earth.

No offense, but if it's your favorite place on earth,  then why are you asking how to know when you're in the wilderness? :dunno:

I believe when he says its his favorite place on earth, he means he enjoys being out in the woods. Not specifically that area.  :twocents:
