National Park Service sites by state

56 states and territories have National Park Service sites in the NPS data. District of Columbia has the most, with 37. Alert and closure counts are from the Oct 28, 2026 snapshot.

Updated · NPS Data API

A park that crosses state lines, such as Yellowstone or Great Smoky Mountains, is counted in every state it touches, so the state totals add up to more than the number of parks.

You can also browse by designation from the home page, or jump straight to all current alerts.
