Alaska is home to 119 state parks covering 3.3 million acres of land, providing endless recreational opportunities 12 months a year.
The Alaska State Park system has been around since Alaska became a state in 1959 and is currently divided into seven park management areas that include recreation sites, recreation areas, historical parks, historical sites, state trails, state parks, marine parks, a wilderness park, special management area, and a preserve.
The parks remain a symbol of the true Alaska lifestyle; proof is in the numbers. Alaskans participating in wilderness recreation are twice as high as national average.
Over two-thirds of the 5.4 million annual visitors to Alaska’s state parks are Alaskan residents, and visitors are invited to take part in some or any of the endless adventure to be found.
