National Recreation Areas

National Recreation Areas are protected spaces designated by the federal government to provide outdoor recreational opportunities like hiking, camping, fishing, and boating. They are often located near reservoirs, lakes, or other natural features that attract visitors seeking leisure and nature experiences. While they may include developed facilities, their primary purpose is to conserve natural landscapes while offering public access and enjoyment. These areas balance environmental preservation with outdoor recreation, making them ideal destinations for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike.
