The Complete List of National Parks by State (2024 Update)

The U.S. National Parks are an amazing collection of National Parks. They range from world-famous parks like Yellowstone to remote virtually unknown National Parks like Isle Royale. The National Parks cover many different ecosystems and are spread across the US and its territories. This guide has a complete list of all 63 National Parks by state so you can start planning your trips.

Each of these parks is special and well worth a visit. At a glance, this list of National Parks is huge, and it seems like it is impossible to get to them all. It isn’t. Visiting the national parks is a journey, not a race. Take your time and discover why each of these parks is worthy of National Park status. Don’t feel bad if you think a couple of parks on this list don’t deserve their status as a National Park. Lord knows I want at least 2 demoted to other National Park designations.
