The size of King Hill Creek WSA, in combination with the good-to-excellent topographic and vegetative screening, provides outstanding opportunities for solitude in most of the area.

Visitor Advisory

King Hill Creek WSA is most easily accessed via Dempsey Meadows Road in the north, and BLM road near King Hill, Idaho in the south. The condition of these two roads varies seasonally and can be muddy, washed out, or impassable even by four wheel drive vehicle. Visitors should be prepared for remote, unmaintained backcountry two-track roads and rugged backcountry hiking in canyons.
