If we're talking "deserts" in the sense that there is a bunch of sand and some dunes, then I'd hazard that the Desert of Maine[0] wins this contest at 600 acres smaller (.16km^2 in total) than the Carcross desert (2.6km^2 in total).

- larkeith 8y agoUnlike the Carcross, this one receives too much rain to be classified as a semi-arid desert.
- eric_h 8y agoIt's also (albeit unintentionally) man made.
- 24gttghh 8y agoMy comment was tongue-in-cheek that the Carcross isn't a desert either, and the article claiming it was the "world's smallest desert" was wrong in both size and the erroneous statement that it is a desert. >The dry climate and strong winds in the 260-hectare area make it feel like a real desert, but the Carcross Desert is actually a series of sand dunes (which technically have too much moisture to be classified as a desert).[0] [0]https://web.archive.org/web/20090612184355/http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/travel/travel_magazine/summer_2007/gateway_nature.asp https://web.archive.org/web/20090612184355/http://www.canadi...
