Digital version of the National Park Service Map A, indicating Park Service properties and other government-owned land.

National parks were the most visited type of park in the United States in 2023. Overall, 28 percent of recreational visits to national sites in the North American country were to national parks, whereas national monuments recorded just six percent of total visits that year.

LandsNet - Land Resources Division (LRD)NPS Director's Order #25 states: "Land status maps will be prepared to identify the ownership of the lands within the authorized boundaries of the park unit. These maps, showing ownership and acreage, are the 'official record' of the acreage of Federal and non-federal lands within the park boundaries. While these maps are the official record of the lands and acreage within the unit's authorized boundaries, they are not of survey quality and not intended to be used for survey purposes." As such this data is intended for use as a tool for GIS analysis. It is in no way intended for engineering or legal purposes. The data accuracy is checked against best available sources which may be dated and vary by location. NPS assumes no liability for use of this data. The boundary polygons LRD creates represent the current legislated boundary of a given NPS unit. NPS does not necessarily have full fee ownership or hold another interest (easement, right of way, etc...) in all parcels contained within this boundary. Equivalently NPS may own or have an interest in parcels outside the legislated boundary of a given unit. In order to obtain complete information about current NPS interests both inside and outside the units’ legislated boundary, the tracts file created by LRD should be used in conjunction with this boundary file created by LRD.Available on NPS Open DataAbraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site, Acadia National Park, Adams National Historical Park, African Burial Ground National Monument, Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Alagnak Wild River, Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site, American Samoa, Andersonville National Historic Site, Andrew Johnson National Historic Site, Aniakchak National Monument, Aniakchak National Preserve, Antietam National Battlefield, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Appalachian National Scenic Trail, Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, Arches National Park, Arkansas Post National Memorial, Arlington House - Robert E.

A 2022 survey found that 81 percent of respondents from the United States would visit a national park in their home country in order to see nature, making it the main reason to visit a national park. Other leading motivations for visiting a national park include seeing new places, taking scenic drives, and vacationing. Meanwhile, mountain climbing was the least common reason to go to a national park, with only 10 percent of respondents saying so.

The National Parks and National Park Reserves of Canada Legislative Boundaries web service includes the following lands: 1) National Parks of Canada as defined in Schedule 1 of the Canada National Parks Act, 2) National Park Reserves of Canada as defined in Schedule 2 of the Canada National Parks Act, 3) Rouge National Urban Park as defined in the Rouge National Urban Park Act and 4) Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park as defined in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park Act.

The Data available for download is the former National Framework Canada Lands Administrative Boundaries Level 1 product. There are some attribute differences between the data available for download and the web service; however both contain the same underlying data. Please refer to the Supporting Documents for additional information on the National Framework Canada Lands Administrative Boundaries Level 1 dataset. Work is under way to align these two data products. As well, the Comprehensive Claims Settlement Areas have been removed from this dataset, but can be obtained from the Post-1975 Treaties (Modern Treaties) dataset produced by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.

These ESRI shape files are of National Park Service tract and boundary data that was created by the Land Resources Division. Tracts are numbered and created by the regional cartographic staff at the Land Resources Program Centers and are associated to the Land Status Maps. This data should be used to display properties that NPS owns and properties that NPS may have some type of interest such as scenic easements or right of ways.

This data set contains small-scale base GIS data layers compiled by the National Park Service Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program and Water Resources Division for use in a Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Report that was prepared for the park. The report presents the results of surface water quality data retrievals for the park from six of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national databases: (1) Storage and Retrieval (STORET) water quality database management system; (2) River Reach File (RF3) Hydrography; (3) Industrial Facilities Discharges; (4) Drinking Water Supplies; (5) Water Gages; and (6) Water Impoundments. The small-scale GIS data layers were used to prepare the maps included in the report that depict the locations of water quality monitoring stations, industrial discharges, drinking intakes, water gages, and water impoundments. The data layers included in the maps (and this dataset) vary depending on availability, but generally include roads, hydrography, political boundaries, USGS 7.5' minute quadrangle outlines, hydrologic units, trails, and others as appropriate. The scales of each layer vary depending on data source but are generally 1:100,000.

This is a vector line dataset representing the Trail features in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. This dataset is utilizing the updated Trail Spatial Data Standard dated 10/21/2016.

NPWS Managed Land Other This combined dataset is for reporting purposes when it is deemed necessary to include all of the land that is managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Area hectares of each polygon have been generated in this dataset to assist reporting. Please note that the GIS area calculation was performed using Lamberts Conic Conformal (LCC) projection. This GIS calculated area will not be the same as the gazetted area or acquired area. The following is the description of layers included:

This file contains the digital vector boundaries for National Parks in Great Britain as at December 2021. The boundaries available are: (BFE) Full resolution - extent of the realm (usually this is the Mean Low Water mark but in some cases boundaries extend beyond this to include off shore islands). Contains both Ordnance Survey and ONS Intellectual Property Rights.

The National Park Service Building Spatial Data Standard is intended to provide a framework for organizing our building point and polygon spatial data, documenting its lineage, and facilitating data integration as well as data sharing. The standards will help ensure spatial data consistency, quality, and accuracy and will assist in program direction, reporting, and information requests.
