Recreation.gov is the government's centralized travel planning platform and reservation system. This public program has grown and evolved since it was first conceived as an information sharing service in 1995. Recreation.gov is now the outdoor recreation system for 14 Federal agencies to support land management and enable visitors to discover and experience public lands and waters.
From camping to whitewater rafting to backcountry/wilderness hiking to a ranger led cave tour, Recreation.gov helps agencies and thousands of federal recreation locations across the country manage recreation resources and visitation by providing access to secure and compliant technical solutions as well as dedicated resources and support with training, communications, technical help, data requests, and daily operational needs.
