Why didn't I find the site I was looking for in Recreation.gov when I searched by name? Where can I find information about a particular site not listed in Recreation.gov?

- For sites included in the Recreation.gov database now, you may use the "Quick Search" box at the top right of each page. That search box will trigger a query for one or more of the over 3,800 recreation sites listed in the Recreation.gov database. Note that a recreation site may not appear if it has not been added to the database yet, or if it is listed under a different name, or if it is not affiliated with a Federal government agency.


NOTE: The current Search box in the upper right of the page will search for an exact match of the string of characters that you type into the Search box. If you enter loxa, the results from the Search Engine will include the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. However, if you enter extra characters, or omit some characters, the Search Engine may not recognize any sites that match your query. For example, a search for loxa? or Lxahatchee will identify no sites whose name matches that string of characters - so avoid typos...

Still not finding what you are looking for?

Recreation.gov is a rich source of information about Federal government-related recreation sites. There are thousands of Federal sites listed, but not every recreation-related place name is in the database.

(For example, you can find the Rogue Wild and Scenic River, plus the Rogue River Ranch in Recreation.gov - but most rapids and campsites are not listed individually. To find information about Blossom Bar, you'll have to follow the link to the Rogue Wild and Scenic River website.)

If you are looking for information from the Recreation.gov partner agencies about topics other than recreation sites, please see the State Tourism Websites or the websites for the Federal partners:



Recreation.gov lists Federal government-related recreation sites. Private, non-government recreation facilities, plus hotels and restaurants, are included in a wide range of other online systems and publications. Recreation.gov provides links to the state tourism portals managed by state governments, where you can find a large number of private facilities.

Private, non-government recreation facilities, plus hotels and restaurants, are not included in Recreation.gov ? but such sites are included in a wide range of other online systems and publications.
