Richland Creek Wilderness is a federally designated wilderness area in Arkansas within the Ozark–St. Francis National Forest. Established by Congress in 1984 and managed by the U.S. Forest Service, it encompasses 11,801 acres of second- and third-growth oak-hickory forest with some shortleaf pine. Richland Creek and Long Devil's Fork Creek join within the area, where steep sandstone bluffs shape its rugged terrain. Once logged, the land still bears trails that follow old logging roads. The area is infrequently visited and supports wildlife including black bears, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, skunks, opossums, minks, and pheasants. Federal wilderness rules prohibit roads, buildings, logging, mining, and motorized or mechanized travel.
