Home›National Park›National Parks of North AmericaGroupNational Parks of North AmericaThis group collects the 33 members of the Geography atlas's Protected Areas: National Park subcategory whose own sourced entity-description text places them in North America. The subcategory carries 587 national parks worldwide, and this group reorganises how that flat list is browsed by world region rather than adding any new claim about a single park, since the country or place each description names is already the authority the atlas holds for that park. A reader looking for a national park in North America can go straight to this group instead of scanning the whole subcategory page. Parks the atlas places in a different world region sit in their own separate top-level group rather than here, and a park whose description names no identifiable country or region stays off every group and is listed as ungrouped on the subcategory page.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonIUCN DesignationWell-attestedII - National Park (IUCN Category) 1Browse ByAll National Parks of North AmericaNational Parks of North America32 entriesNational Parks of North AmericaFilter Results32 entriesCountryAllCanada (17)Japan (1)United States (13)IUCN CategoryAllNational Parks of North America (32)National Designation TypeAllBiosphere Reserve (2)II (1)National and State Parks (1)National Park (26)National Park Reserve (1)State Park (2)International DesignationAllRamsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) (2)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (7)UNESCO World Heritage Site (16)Marine or TerrestrialAllCoastal (Marine and Terrestrial) (4)Terrestrial (24)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (32)Establishment EraAll1872 (1)1885 (1)1886 (1)1890 (1)1895 (1)1907 (1)1910 (1)1913 (1)1918 (1)1919 (2)1920 (1)1922 (1)1930 (1)1934 (1)1937 (1)1942 (1)1947 (1)1968 (1)1972 (2)1973 (1)1974 (1)1976 (2)1987 (1)1993 (1)1994 (1)1996 (1)2005 (2)2019 (1)Area BandAll0.038007 to 53 sq km (4)1,865 to 1,550,000 sq km (18)211.61 to 643.4 sq km (5)54 to 208.56 sq km (1)647.37 to 1,863.75 sq km (4)ContinentAllAsia (1)North America (31)Governing BodyAllDepartment of Conservation (1)Ministry of the Environment (2)National Park Service (11)Parks Canada (17)United States state park agency (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 32Ashizuri-Uwakai National ParkNational Park2 linksAuyuittuq National ParkNational Park2 linksBanff National ParkNational Park3 linksBelle Isle State Park (Virginia)National Park2 linksBig Bend National ParkNational Park2 linksCave Lake State ParkNational Park2 linksDeath Valley National ParkNational Park2 linksElk Island National ParkNational Park2 linksEverglades National ParkNational Park3 linksGlacier National ParkNational Park2 linksGrand Canyon National ParkNational Park3 linksGreat Basin National ParkNational Park2 linksGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkNational Park2 linksGros Morne National ParkNational Park2 linksGwaii Haanas National Park ReserveNational Park2 linksJasper National ParkNational Park2 linksKluane National Park and ReserveNational Park2 linksKootenay National ParkNational Park2 linksNahanni National Park ReserveNational Park2 linksNortheast Greenland National ParkNational Park2 linksPoint Pelee National ParkNational Park2 linksPrince Edward Island National ParkNational Park2 linksRedwood National and State ParksNational Park2 linksRiding Mountain National ParkNational Park2 linksThaidene Nëné National Park ReserveNational Park2 linksTorngat Mountains National ParkNational Park2 linksWaterton Lakes National ParkNational Park2 linksWood Buffalo National ParkNational Park4 linksYellowstone National ParkNational Park3 linksYoho National ParkNational Park2 linksYosemite National ParkNational Park3 linksZion National ParkNational Park2 linksSources1.
