A map for the 63 designated national parks

The National Park Service manages many kinds of places, including monuments, historic sites, recreation areas, and national parks. This checklist covers the 63 designated national parks in the source list, rather than every unit managed by the agency. Acadia, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the newer New River Gorge entry all belong here. Visiting a national monument does not add an entry unless it is also one of these parks.

Each marker represents an approximate park location, not a visitor center or entrance. Click a marker to change its status, or search the checklist by park name or state. Nearby parks can overlap at this scale, so the list is the reliable way to select a particular park. Alaska and Hawaii appear in insets; American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands are shown separately as well.

Count visits without losing sight of the experience

A park marked Visited or Lived adds one to your total. The Lived status can be useful for someone who worked or stayed long-term in a park, but it still counts only once. Wishlist parks stay out of the visited total. Thirty-one completed parks is about 49% of the 63-item list. The percentage measures checklist entries, not trail miles or the amount of protected land explored.

Decide what a visit means to you: entering the park, completing a walk, or spending enough time to experience a particular landscape. The tool cannot verify a visit and does not collect location history. Before planning a trip, check the official park website for entrance reservations, road closures, seasonal conditions, and permits. A point on this map is never a safe substitute for an official route or trail map.

Keep a park checklist you can return to

Changes save on this browser. Create a share link if you want to reopen the same selection on another device or keep a backup alongside your trip notes. The link contains a snapshot of park statuses and can be viewed by anyone who receives it. Later changes require a new link; there is no automatic account synchronization.

Download a PNG to celebrate a road trip or plan a conversation with friends about the next park. The card contains the map, park count, legend, and MapMoment brand mark. Keep the link too, because an image cannot restore the editable checklist. Park designations can change over time; this page uses the disclosed 63-park source snapshot and should not be treated as a live official directory.
