Thank you for visiting the National Park Service on the Web.

If you're looking for information about programs and activities in a specific national park, it's a good idea to start with the park's web site. The park's web site is maintained by staff in the park, ensuring that the information is as fresh and accurate as possible. You can link to park web sites through the Parks and Recreation portal.

You can also search NPS.gov using this search window:

Information about National Park Service-wide programs and activities falls into four broad categories: Nature and Science, History and Culture, Education and Interpretation and News and Information. These sites offer a wide range of material for students, park visitors, professionals...and anyone else who is curious about topics ranging from archaeology to endangered species.
