Approximately 237 million people visited American national parks in 2020, representing a 28 percent year-over-year decrease attributed to the coronavirus pandemic. To determine the most popular national parks in the United States, Stacker compiled data from the National Park Service on the number of recreational visits each site had in 2020.
President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 signed the act creating the National Park Service to leave natural and historic phenomenons unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.

California boasts more national parks than any other state, beating out even famously scenic states like Alaska and Utah. And the Golden State s 10 national parks certainly show off the diverse landscapes you can find on the west coast, from the towering redwoods of NorCal, the arid deserts of SoCal, the iconic flora of Joshua Tree and the surreal geologic snapshots of past volcanic eruptions and the movement of glaciers.
From crown jewels of the whole system like Yosemite to remote marine ecosystems like Channel Islands National Park, California s national parks certainly pack a punch. Indeed, not only are there ten parks proper, but a bevy of other protected places run by the national parks service, including national monuments, wilderness areas, seashores, and preserves.
