It encourages river management that crosses political boundaries and promotes public participation in developing goals for river protection. The Act, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the height of the United States environmental era, states:</p><blockquote><p>"It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Congress declares that the established national policy of dams and other construction at appropriate sections of the rivers of the United States needs to be complemented by a policy that would preserve other selected rivers or sections thereof in their free-flowing condition to protect the water quality of such rivers and to fulfill other vital national conservation purposes."

Rivers may be designated by Congress or, if certain requirements are met, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Interior" title="United States Secretary of the Interior">Secretary of the Interior</a>. Each designated river is administered by either a federal, state, or tribal agency, or as a partnership between any number of these government entities and local <a href="/wiki/Non-governmental_organization" title="Non-governmental organization">NGOs</a>. Designated segments need not include the entire river and may include headwaters and tributaries. For federally administered rivers, the designated boundaries generally average one-quarter mile on either bank in the lower 48 states and one-half mile on rivers outside <a href="/wiki/National_Park_Service" title="National Park Service">national parks</a> in <a href="/wiki/Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaska</a> in order to protect river-related values. </p><p>As of August 2018, the National System protects over 12,700 miles (20,400 km) of 209 rivers in 40 states and the <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Rico" title="Puerto Rico">Commonwealth of Puerto Rico</a>; this is less than one-quarter of one percent of the nation's rivers, which flow over 3.5 million miles (5,600,000 kilometers) across the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By comparison, more than 75,000 large <a href="/wiki/Dam" title="Dam">dams</a> across the country have modified at least 600,000 miles (970,000 km), or about 17 percent of American rivers. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Wild_and_Scenic_Rivers_System&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Wild_%26_Scenic_Taunton_River.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Wild_%26_Scenic_Taunton_River.jpg/260px-Wild_%26_Scenic_Taunton_River.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Wild_%26_Scenic_Taunton_River.jpg/390px-Wild_%26_Scenic_Taunton_River.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/Wild_%26_Scenic_Taunton_River.jpg/520px-Wild_%26_Scenic_Taunton_River.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2600" data-file-height="1733" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Taunton_River" title="Taunton River">Taunton River</a> in <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts" title="Massachusetts">Massachusetts</a> is a Wild and Scenic River.</figcaption></figure> <p>The National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act was an outgrowth of the recommendations of a Presidential commission, the <a href="/wiki/Outdoor_Recreation_Resources_Review_Commission" class="mw-redirect" title="Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission">Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission</a> (ORRRC). Among other things, the commission recommended that the nation protect wild rivers and scenic rivers from development that would substantially change their free-flowing nature and values. At this time, the country was also experiencing rapid degradation of its water resources due to municipal and industrial effluent being released into the nation's rivers. Many waterways and the fish in them were toxic, rendering them unusable by surrounding communities. Populations of aquatic species were declining and people were being relocated from their communities due to rampant dam building. All across the country people were writing letters imploring the President and First lady to protect their beloved rivers. Ultimately, the act was sponsored by Sen. <a href="/wiki/Frank_Church" title="Frank Church">Frank Church</a> (<a href="/wiki/United_States_Democratic_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Democratic Party">D</a>-<a href="/wiki/Idaho" title="Idaho">Idaho</a>) and signed into law by <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President</a> <a href="/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson" title="Lyndon B.

Despite misplaced fears, WSR designation does not alter private property rights. </p><p>Federally administered National Wild and Scenic Rivers are managed by one or more of the four principal land-managing agencies of the federal government. Of the 209 National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the majority are managed by the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Forest_Service" title="United States Forest Service">United States Forest Service</a>, followed by the National Park Service; ten of those managed by the NPS are <a href="/wiki/List_of_the_United_States_National_Park_System_official_units" title="List of the United States National Park System official units">official units</a>, while most are part of other parks. The remaining WSR are managed under the <a href="/wiki/Bureau_of_Land_Management" title="Bureau of Land Management">Bureau of Land Management</a>'s National Conservation Lands, originally called the <a href="/wiki/National_Landscape_Conservation_System" class="mw-redirect" title="National Landscape Conservation System">National Landscape Conservation System</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Fish_and_Wildlife_Service" title="United States Fish and Wildlife Service">U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service</a> in <a href="/wiki/Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaska</a>. </p><p>State-managed Wild and Scenic Rivers are subject to the same protections as federally administered rivers. These state rivers can be added to the National System by the Secretary of the Interior following an application by the governor of the state the river flows through. </p><p>Designated rivers are assigned one or more classifications: Wild, Scenic, or Recreational. These classifications are based on the developmental character of the river's surroundings on the date of designation. Wild rivers are the most remote and undeveloped while Recreational rivers often have many access points, roads, railroads, bridges, and homes located within the designated corridor. Scenic rivers tend to fall somewhere between the Wild and Recreational level of development. It is important to note that a river's classification is not related to the value(s) that made it worthy of designation. For instance, recreation may not be an outstanding value on a river with a recreational classification, nor scenery on a river classified as scenic. Notably, Wild and Scenic Rivers receive the same standard of protection regardless of classification. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="List_of_National_Wild_and_Scenic_Rivers">List of National Wild and Scenic Rivers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Wild_and_Scenic_Rivers_System&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: List of National Wild and Scenic Rivers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></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">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_National_Wild_and_Scenic_Rivers" title="List of National Wild and Scenic Rivers">List of National Wild and Scenic Rivers</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Wild_and_Scenic_Rivers_System&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/National_Trails_System" title="National Trails System">National Trails System</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Protected_areas_of_the_United_States" title="Protected areas of the United States">Protected areas of the United States</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wild_river" title="Wild river">Wild river</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Wild_and_Scenic_Rivers_System&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
