List of 61 National Parks of the United States Activities, Information, and Resources

Details
Category: Explore and Participate

The United States has 61 protected areas known as national parks that are operated by the National Park Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior. An act of the United States Congress must establish national parks. A bill creating the first national park, Yellowstone, was signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872, followed by Mackinac National Park in 1875, and then Rock Creek Park, Sequoia and Yosemite in 1890.

The entries, grouped by state, include administrative addresses and phone numbers, dates of authorization and establishment, boundary change dates, acreages, website addresses, and brief statements explaining the areas’ national significance. This book is not intended as a guide for park visitors. There is no information regarding campgrounds, trails, visitor services, hours, etc. Those needing such information should go to each park’s website, accessible through the National Park Service home page: www.nps.gov

Next, download the trip planning guide and checklist. Make your fun adventure a safe one too! No one plans to get hurt while out exploring in a National Park. However, nature is unpredictable, structures are historical, and your equipment can unexpectedly fail. Planning can be the key to a fun and safe adventure. Remember, safety starts with you!

Cook Fun Things

Kids love to be involved cooking their own food that can be cooked at the end of a stick. Introduce your kids to the camping tradition of roasting marshmallows and cooking hot dogs over a fire. Cooking in Camp for more tips, tricks and recipes for meals.

  5. Prepare – Gear Up!

Keep Your Pet Safe Too

If camping with your pet, be sure to follow these guidelines:

  • Always keep your pet restrained.
  • Check your pet for ticks.
  • Do not leave your pet in a closed vehicle.
  • If you are camping in bear country, camping with dogs can be more dangerous than elsewhere. Dogs can attract curious bears, and the interaction often leads to conflict, which can put your pet and you in danger.

Respect Wildlife

Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the safety of you and animals in the park with respect to wildlife:

  • Do NOT feed wildlife under any circumstances. Feeding wildlife creates an expectation that they can receive food from you (and other campers) in the future. This can make them persistent and sometimes violent, and may attract wildlife to your site.
  • Avoid contact with wildlife. While it is certainly tempting to approach wildlife, this can be very dangerous.
  • Keep safe viewing distances. When watching wildlife, make sure to keep a safe distance. Your park may or may not have recommended viewing distances regarding certain wildlife.

Avoid attracting wildlife to your campsite with the following methods:

  • Keep food secured in airtight containers. Not only will it be fresher, it will attract less unwanted attention from wildlife.
  • Keep your food out of reach of wildlife. Generally, food can be stored in your car, but certain campgrounds may require the use of food storage lockers or other means of keeping food out of reach of wildlife.
  • Keep your campsite clean. Collect any food packaging and food scraps in a waste bag and dispose of the waste in the campground's receptacle before you leave the camp or turn in for the night.
  • Do not feed wildlife. Not only will they become more aggressive toward you, they will be more likely to be a nuisance for campers who use the site after you.
  • Do not take food inside your tent. While it's tempting to have that midnight snack on hand, it will attract wildlife.

Outdoor Participation

Running, including jogging and trail running, is the most popular activity among Americans when measured by both number of participants and by number of total annual outings.

Walking for fitness is the most popular crossover activity: 45.8% of all outdoor participants also walk.

Adults who were introduced to the outdoors as children were more likely to participate in outdoor activities during adulthood than those who were not exposed to the outdoors as children. Studies show that 38% of adults who were introduced to the outdoors during childhood grew up to enjoy outdoor activities as adults. While only 17% of adults who do not currently participate in any outdoor activities had outdoor experiences as children.
