Why National Forests?

National Forests and Grasslands, managed by the USDA Forest Service, host more than 170 million visits and pump $13.5 billion into our economy each year, sustaining nearly 223,000 jobs in gateway communities.

Forests deliver water to millions of Americans in thousands of communities, harbor diverse wildlife, and provide resources for our nation. From fresh air and clean water to scenic drives and the thrill of wilderness solitude, National Forests offer an abundance of recreation opportunities, ecosystem services, and a lifetime’s worth of exploration including:

  • More than 9,000 miles of scenic byways to drive
  • Almost 150,000 miles of trails to hike
  • More than 4,400 miles of wild and scenic rivers to float
  • At least 5,100 campgrounds in which to pitch our tents
  • And 328 natural pools to swim in
