Delirium Wilderness is a 11870 acre wilderness area in Chippewa County, within the Hiawatha National Forest in the U.S. state of Michigan.

Sculpted by glaciers and an ancient glacial lake, it now contains the 80 acre Sylvester Pond and the 6 acre Delirium Pond, as well as parts of the headwaters of the Pine and Waiska Rivers.

Vegetation

Delirium Wilderness is thickly forested with swamp conifer, aspen, and white cedar, with stands of red and jack pine growing in its drier areas.
