List of United States National Parks by state

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of United States National Parks by state. Some states lack a national park; others have many. Two territories have national parks, and are included on this list. Some parks encompass land in more than one state and are listed more than once. Park vary greatly in size, but the largest are generally in the West and Alaska, where large blocks of undeveloped and government-owned land existed. However, new parks continue to be created throughout the country--South Carolina's first park was created in 2003.
