Special Use Permits in Wilderness AreasMuch of Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve is eligible for wilderness designation (see map). According to National Park Service Wilderness Management Policies, eligible wilderness is managed as designated until it is either officially designated, or removed from consideration, both of which require an Act of Congress. Under the Wilderness Act of 1964, wilderness areas have additional laws and policies to preserve their wilderness character for future generations. Filming activities in wilderness must follow all applicable laws and regulations that govern wilderness areas in the park, including prohibitions on structures, installations, motor vehicles, mechanical transport, motorized equipment, motorboats, and (with the exception of the Upper Charley River drainage) helicopter landings.
