The Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program provides framework, funding, and publishing support to parks to aid in the synthesis and documentation of natural resource conditions. Condition assessment reports are a tool to describe selected park resources, record a snapshot of their current condition, identify trends in condition, and determine potential or current threats and stressors. Understanding the condition and trend of natural resources is key for parks and NPS planners to appropriately prioritize and allocate stewardship resources.

 

The log cabin at Knob Creek is similar to the one Abraham Lincoln lived in as a boy.

In addition to hikes, visitors can enjoy a variety of walking tours and a visitor’s center where they can learn more about our 16^th president and the places he grew up.
