A State Park System is a network of protected areas managed by state governments to preserve natural resources, wildlife, and recreational opportunities. These parks often include forests, lakes, mountains, and trails, providing spaces for activities like hiking, camping, and fishing. Each state has its own unique parks that reflect the local environment and culture. State parks are designed to promote conservation and public enjoyment. They often feature visitor centers, educational programs, and facilities for outdoor activities. The National Park Service oversees some federal parks, but state parks are primarily managed at the state level, ensuring that local needs and resources are prioritized.
