The Data Behind America's Public Lands
A searchable collection of public-lands statistics covering national parks, outdoor recreation economies, federal visitation, and Recreation.gov bookings.
Field notes
The project consolidates agency material that is otherwise distributed across PDFs, spreadsheets, and separate websites. Its datasets preserve useful distinctions: park visitation includes monthly counts and overnight stays by lodging type, while Recreation.gov records include fees, booking lead time, and visitor state of origin. The page identifies Kyle Frost and the Here & There collection as the project’s builder and home.
