The Find Your Park campaign invites people everywhere to discover that a park can be more than a single place. It can be a trail, a heritage area, a seashore, a feeling of inspiration, or a sense of community that comes from volunteering.There is a national park in every state, and hundreds more local, state, and other public lands across the country. Using the links below you may find your park right in your own "backyard"! If your park is on Earth, it probably has a geologic story to tell.
There are many ways to find your park, and many places you can find it. Want to know where to start your journey? You can begin by searching Parks Near You.
