A Mega List of National Lands

A Funny Way to List my Traveling Accomplishments

Much of my travels focus around our national wonders and this is a simple way to see what I’ve done, and see what I need to do. It has taken me many many many hours of research to compile this list, ensure its accuracy, and organize it in an easy to find format. Please don’t criticize if you see something I missed.

Here is all lands managed by the US National Park Service, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management. In the total count only National Parks, Forests, Monuments, Grasslands, and Sea/Lakeshores are counted as they are the main lands. But I’ve included all other sites such as National Military Parks, Scenic Trails, Parkways, Historic Sites, Heritage Areas, Wildlife Refuges, Wilderness Areas, Historic Trails, etc. Hope this list helps you enjoy each state you visit!


Disclaimer: I know for sure that the National Parks, Forests, Monuments, Grasslands, and Sea/Lakeshores lists are complete. As far as land maintained by the NFS and BLM, there’s many I didn’t list or couldn’t find on their websites. I’ve done the best I can with what I could find. The NPS website was the best laid out while NFS was a cluster.
