There are 40 NRAs, which emphasize a variety of activities for visitors, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing, swimming, biking, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing, in areas that include multiple-use management for both conservation and limited utilization of natural resources. They have diverse features and contexts, being established around reservoirs, in urban areas, and within forests. Due to their size, diversity of activities, and proximity to population centers, NRAs are among the most visited units of the National Park System, with six among the thirty most visited sites.<a href="#cite_note-:5-1">[1]</a> The first NRA was <a href="/wiki/Lake_Mead_National_Recreation_Area" title="Lake Mead National Recreation Area">Lake Mead National Recreation Area</a>, which was created by a 1936 agreement between the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Bureau_of_Reclamation" title="United States Bureau of Reclamation">United States Bureau of Reclamation</a> (USBR), which had built <a href="/wiki/Hoover_Dam" title="Hoover Dam">Hoover Dam</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/National_Park_Service" title="National Park Service">National Park Service</a> (NPS), which had experience in managing visitors in the outdoors. Because the reservoir had disturbed the natural state of the environment, a new designation was devised that allowed for more intensive land use while maintaining the NPS's role in conservation and historic preservation. The system of NRAs grew as the USBR constructed more dams near urban areas where there was a need for outdoor recreation. NRAs are managed by the NPS, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Forest_Service" title="United States Forest Service">United States Forest Service</a> (USFS), and the <a href="/wiki/Bureau_of_Land_Management" title="Bureau of Land Management">Bureau of Land Management</a> (BLM). Of the NPS's 18 sites, 12 are based around large reservoirs emphasizing water recreation, 5 are near urban areas and include both historic preservation and outdoor recreation, and the last is at a river where a reservoir was planned but not built. Of the USFS's 22 sites, 5 are at or near reservoirs, and the rest are other exemplary recreation sites within national forests. The 40 NRAs are located in 26 states; California and Washington have the most, each with four. NRAs of the USFS have a total area of 3,261,818 acres (13,200 km2),<a href="#cite_note-:7-2">[2]</a> and those of the NPS total 3,714,735 acres (15,033 km2).<a href="#cite_note-NPSarea17-3">[3]</a> The BLM's one NRA is approximately 1,000,000 acres (4,000 km2).<a href="#cite_note-:10-4">[4]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_recreation_area&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_National_Park_Service" title="History of the National Park Service">History of the National Park Service</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Origin">Origin</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_recreation_area&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Origin">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mike_O%27Callaghan%E2%80%93Pat_Tillman_Memorial_Bridge_09_2017_4767.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Aerial view of Hoover Dam with Lake Mead behind it and desert landscape" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Mike_O%27Callaghan%E2%80%93Pat_Tillman_Memorial_Bridge_09_2017_4767.jpg/220px-Mike_O%27Callaghan%E2%80%93Pat_Tillman_Memorial_Bridge_09_2017_4767.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Mike_O%27Callaghan%E2%80%93Pat_Tillman_Memorial_Bridge_09_2017_4767.jpg/330px-Mike_O%27Callaghan%E2%80%93Pat_Tillman_Memorial_Bridge_09_2017_4767.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Mike_O%27Callaghan%E2%80%93Pat_Tillman_Memorial_Bridge_09_2017_4767.jpg/440px-Mike_O%27Callaghan%E2%80%93Pat_Tillman_Memorial_Bridge_09_2017_4767.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3000" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Hoover_Dam" title="Hoover Dam">Hoover Dam</a> and Lake Mead between Nevada and Arizona</figcaption></figure> The <a href="/wiki/U.S._Bureau_of_Reclamation" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Bureau of Reclamation">U.S. Bureau of Reclamation</a> was planning the construction of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) on the <a href="/wiki/Colorado_River" title="Colorado River">Colorado River</a> in the late 1920s and saw the potential for recreation at the scenic area in <a href="/wiki/Nevada" title="Nevada">Nevada</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona">Arizona</a> around the future <a href="/wiki/Lake_Mead" title="Lake Mead">Lake Mead</a>, to then be the world's largest reservoir. The car was expanding access to travel in the growing Southwest and the USBR wanted to bring about the outdoor activities that would be enabled by its enormous project, but it lacked the experience and desire to provide facilities and services for recreation. Following the controversy of the <a href="/wiki/Hetch_Hetchy" title="Hetch Hetchy">Hetch Hetchy</a> Reservoir that flooded a scenic valley in <a href="/wiki/Yosemite_National_Park" title="Yosemite National Park">Yosemite National Park</a>, the <a href="/wiki/National_Park_Service" title="National Park Service">National Park Service</a> sought to balance its conservation and recreation efforts with dams, and it could provide the expertise for such visitor infrastructure at the Boulder Canyon Project.<a href="#cite_note-:2-5">[5]</a> A proposed 8,000 sq mi (21,000 km2) Virgin National Park in that region promoted by Secretary of the Interior <a href="/wiki/Ray_Lyman_Wilbur" title="Ray Lyman Wilbur">Ray Lyman Wilbur</a> was praised for its scenic and historic resources but rejected in 1930 by NPS Director <a href="/wiki/Horace_M._Albright" title="Horace M. Albright">Horace M. Albright</a> due to a reservoir's inherent lack of a natural landscape expected for a <a href="/wiki/List_of_national_parks_of_the_United_States" title="List of national parks of the United States">national park</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> The political leaders at the Department of the Interior nevertheless wanted to manage the significant lands for tourism and recreation. Farming interests in the <a href="/wiki/Arizona_Strip" title="Arizona Strip">Arizona Strip</a> area also wanted to keep their <a href="/wiki/Grazing" title="Grazing">grazing</a> access to the public lands. A 1932 study by <a href="/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park" title="Yellowstone National Park">Yellowstone National Park</a> superintendent <a href="/wiki/Roger_W._Toll" title="Roger W. Toll">Roger Toll</a> evaluated the region and recognized some sites of interest but again dismissed it as inconsistent with national parks' and monuments' standards and purpose of preservation.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> Separately that year the secretary's advisor <a href="/wiki/Louis_C._Cramton" title="Louis C. Cramton">Louis C. Cramton</a> led further studies of the area between the dam site and <a href="/wiki/Grand_Canyon_National_Park" title="Grand Canyon National Park">Grand Canyon National Park</a> and recommended the creation of Grand Canyon National Monument (II)<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> for the pristine upstream eastern section; it would later be incorporated into the park. Cramton proposed that the western section, which had less spectacular scenery, the dam and reservoir, livestock grazing, and mining, but nationally important recreational importance, be designated as the "Boulder Canyon National Reservation", consistent with terminology used in the <a href="/wiki/National_Park_Service_Organic_Act" title="National Park Service Organic Act">National Park Service Organic Act</a>. A bill to establish it was introduced in Congress in 1933 with mixed support and failed to advance,<a href="#cite_note-:2-5">[5]</a> while Albright reluctantly agreed to support the USBR with visitor services.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> As part of the <a href="/wiki/New_Deal" title="New Deal">New Deal</a>, President <a href="/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt" title="Franklin D. Roosevelt">Franklin D. Roosevelt</a> strongly promoted tourism to a growing NPS, with increased emphasis on recreation at facilities constructed by the job-creating <a href="/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps" title="Civilian Conservation Corps">Civilian Conservation Corps</a>. The Park Service, now under Director <a href="/wiki/Arno_B._Cammerer" title="Arno B. Cammerer">Arno B. Cammerer</a>, took advantage of federal funds to claim the reservoir area and highlight natural features and development needs.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> Despite the lack of legislation establishing the reservation, the USBR's inability to manage the influx of tourists at the newly finished Lake Mead led Interior Secretary <a href="/wiki/Harold_L._Ickes" title="Harold L. Ickes">Harold L. Ickes</a> to direct for negotiation of a <a href="/wiki/Memorandum_of_understanding" title="Memorandum of understanding">memorandum of agreement</a> that gave the NPS responsibility for the reserved lands and surface of the lake, but not Boulder Dam itself, maintaining mining and grazing so long as they did not disrupt recreation. Ickes signed it on October 13, 1936, establishing the Boulder Dam Recreation Area, and the NPS quickly built significant infrastructure for sightseeing visitors and contracted with concessionaires. This was a major compromise and precedent that expanded the Park Service's mission beyond the strict conservation of national parks and <a href="/wiki/National_monument_(United_States)" title="National monument (United States)">monuments</a> to include broader outdoor recreation that coexists with other land uses.<a href="#cite_note-:2-5">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Further_development">Further development</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_recreation_area&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Further development">edit</a>]</div> The Park, Parkway, and Recreation Area Study Act of 1936<a href="#cite_note-:3-8">[8]</a> had the NPS analyze the needs for outdoor recreation and collaborate with state and local governments,<a href="#cite_note-:2-5">[5]</a> officially expanding its mission beyond national parks. With skepticism remaining among agency veterans, planning at the area still emphasized scenery and preservation. The Act's mandates and provision for interagency cooperation however resulted in more versatile land acquisition as the NPS defined its mission.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> In the 1940s, under the leadership of associate director <a href="/wiki/Conrad_L._Wirth" title="Conrad L.

Wirth</a>, the NPS prepared a National Recreation Plan and conducted a number of studies with the USBR and the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army_Corps_of_Engineers" title="United States Army Corps of Engineers">United States Army Corps of Engineers</a> (USACE) assessing the natural impact, recreational opportunities, and significance of proposed reservoirs.<a href="#cite_note-:8-9">[9]</a> In 1947 the Boulder Dam Recreation Area was renamed <a href="/wiki/Lake_Mead_National_Recreation_Area" title="Lake Mead National Recreation Area">Lake Mead National Recreation Area</a> and expanded to include <a href="/wiki/Lake_Mohave" title="Lake Mohave">Lake Mohave</a> above the USBR's new <a href="/wiki/Davis_Dam" title="Davis Dam">Davis Dam</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> This interagency partnership was successful in creating many recreation areas at reservoirs: nine more were created by agreement with USBR and two more with other dam agencies in the next two decades under the leadership of Wirth as director. However, it contributed to the controversial proposals of <a href="/wiki/Echo_Park_Dam" title="Echo Park Dam">Echo Park Dam</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bridge_Canyon_Dam" title="Bridge Canyon Dam">Bridge Canyon Dam</a> in existing NPS areas that were canceled after considerable opposition from environmentalists.<a href="#cite_note-:2-5">[5]</a> These new sites were mainly designated as just "recreation areas" since they did not necessarily have national significance. Several would be transferred to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Forest_Service" title="United States Forest Service">United States Forest Service</a> and other agencies, being more efficient for management. USFS took over Shasta Lake Recreation Area in <a href="/wiki/Shasta%E2%80%93Trinity_National_Forest" title="Shasta–Trinity National Forest">Shasta National Forest</a> in 1948 as its first.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The Forest Service had traditionally focused on <a href="/wiki/Forestry" title="Forestry">forestry</a> for timber and custodial management, and the 1950s saw debate among the agencies, extraction interests, and conservationists as demand for recreation increased the need for multiple-use planning. The <a href="/wiki/Multiple-Use_Sustained-Yield_Act_of_1960" title="Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960">Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960</a> for the first time established recreation as well as wildlife as an equal priority for the Forest Service with range, timber, and watershed oversight.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> The Park Service took a utilitarian approach to its recreation areas, acknowledging their less-than-national significance and focused on providing useful facilities and allowing a wider range of activities. Through the 1950s, many traditionalists at the NPS saw recreation areas championed by Wirth as distractions with open questions of how to manage and square them with the broader aims of the agency. As increased visitation forced answers to these, Lake Mead served as a model for administration at other recreational units, experiencing changing demands of the public, with more day-use visitors. Wirth advocated for changing the Lake Mead's designation to "national recreation park," which would emphasize its importance with autonomy from the USBR.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> His <a href="/wiki/Mission_66" title="Mission 66">Mission 66</a> vision provided capital investment for construction of visitor services and infrastructure across the park system.<a href="#cite_note-:9-6">[6]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Standardization_and_expansion">Standardization and expansion</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_recreation_area&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Standardization and expansion">edit</a>]</div> In 1963, the Recreation Advisory Council, created by executive order of President <a href="/wiki/John_F._Kennedy" title="John F.

It outlined seven mandatory criteria and six secondary criteria for establishing NRAs, including a minimum size, ability to attract a significant number of visitors from nearby and beyond its state, and filling a regional need with recreation as the dominant purpose. The policy also called for national recreation areas to be established by acts of <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">Congress</a> and for them to be able to be managed by multiple agencies as necessary, including as partnerships with states.<a href="#cite_note-:4-14">[14]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Bureau_of_Outdoor_Recreation" title="Bureau of Outdoor Recreation">Bureau of Outdoor Recreation</a> (rather than the NPS) was charged with studying proposals and referring them to the council for recommendation.
