The table opens with all 63 parks. Use these steps to narrow it down.

  1. Type a name in “Search by park name” to find one park, such as Acadia or Zion.
  2. Open the “State” menu and choose All states and territories, one of the 30 states, American Samoa, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
  3. Under “View”, choose Table for one row per park, or By state to see each state with its “N national parks” and its parks.
  4. Click a column header to sort by National park, State, or Entrance fee. Click it again to reverse the order.
  5. Check the “Showing N of 63 national parks” counter to see how many rows match your settings.
  6. Click a park name to open its nps.gov page.

“Download CSV” saves the current filtered and sorted rows as us-national-parks.csv. “Print / save as PDF” prints the page or saves it as a PDF. The state, search, sort, and view settings are written into the page address as ?st, q, s, d, and v.

The table and the counter update as you type, and the CSV file contains the rows the table shows.

Each click on a header switches between ascending and descending order.

How many national parks are there in the US?

The National Park Service lists 63 national parks, in 30 states plus American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands. That figure appears on the NPS site as “National Parks (63),” checked 2026-10-13. The NPS also says it manages 433 individual units, which include national monuments, historic sites, and other types of park.

The table shows 62 rows, not 63, because Sequoia & Kings Canyon is one NPS unit made up of two parks.

Which state has the most national parks?

California has the most, with 9 parks. Alaska is second with 8: Denali, Gates of the Arctic, Glacier Bay, Katmai, Kenai Fjords, Kobuk Valley, Lake Clark, and Wrangell-St. Elias. Utah has 5, Colorado has 4, and Arizona, Florida, and Washington have 3 each. Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming have 2 each. Michigan has 1, Isle Royale.

These counts treat Sequoia & Kings Canyon as two parks in California. A park on a state line appears in every state it touches. Yellowstone counts in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Great Smoky Mountains counts in North Carolina and Tennessee. Death Valley counts in California and Nevada.

Which states have no national park?

Twenty states have no national park. Examples include New York, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. This number comes from subtracting the 30 states with at least one park in the data from the 50 states.

To check a specific state, choose it in the “State” menu, or open the By state view and look for it in the list.

Which national parks are free?

Of the 63 parks, 23 list no entrance fee. These include Great Smoky Mountains, Mammoth Cave, Redwood, Channel Islands, Gateway Arch, and Voyageurs. The table shows “Free” for them.

The other 40 parks charge an entrance fee of $7 to $35. The Entrance fee column shows the highest private-vehicle fee a park lists, so $35 is the top figure, at parks such as Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Zion, and Yosemite. Five parks list only a per-person fee: Carlsbad Caverns ($15), Denali ($15), Dry Tortugas ($15), Guadalupe Mountains ($10), and Isle Royale ($7). “Free” means the fee data lists no entrance fee. These fees are the published figures from the NPS fee data dated 2026-10-09. Check nps.gov for current prices.

How is Sequoia and Kings Canyon counted?

Sequoia & Kings Canyon is counted as two national parks but one NPS unit, with one entrance fee. The table lists it as one row tagged “two parks, one unit.” The state counts list it as two parks in California.
