National Park Service

The National Park Service website provides official information about the parks and places administered through the U.S. national park system. Its park-search and visitor resources connect people with destinations, history, nature, and the practical information needed to understand a particular park.

Visitors can explore a park and find information about access, facilities, activities, and current notices. The site also presents educational and historical material. It is useful for beginning a visit plan with the responsible public agency rather than relying on an unofficial description of the destination.
