There are 40 protected areas in the United States designated as national recreation areas (NRA). They are established by an act of the United States Congress to preserve enhanced recreational opportunities in places with significant natural and scenic resources. National recreation areas emphasize a variety of activities for visitors, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing, swimming, biking, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing, in areas that include multiple-use management including both conservation and limited utilization of natural resources. They have diverse features and contexts, being established around reservoirs, in urban areas, and within forests. Due to their size, diversity of activities, and proximity to population centers, NRAs are among the most visited units of the National Park System, with six among the thirty most visited sites.
