Citico Creek Wilderness is a 16,226-acre (66 km²) wilderness area within the Cherokee National Forest in the U.S. state of Tennessee. The Wilderness contains the entire upper drainage of Citico Creek, which consists of the North and South Forks and at least eight tributaries. Three steep-sided ridges run west from the long, high ridge of the Unicoi Mountains - Brush Mountain, Pine Ridge, and Sassafras Ridge.[1]
Citico Creek Wilderness is bordered on the east by the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness.
