Visit a National Park This Summer

It’s the height of the summer vacation season, and across the country, Americans are taking part in their favorite outdoor activities — from hiking and rock climbing to swimming and boating — or just enjoying the scenery. From Alaska to Florida, millions of us will have fun in the many federal and local parks and recreation areas in every state in the Union.

According to the US Census Bureau there are almost 79 million acres of national parks and recreation areas and nearly 14 million acres of state facilities. These areas draw a combined total of over a billion visitors annually. That’s about three visits each year for every person in the U.S.
