VIDEO: Introducing the new Recreation.Gov

Dear Friend,

As part of President Obama's initiative to fuel the economy and create jobs by promoting travel and tourism, I am pleased to announce a new design, improved navigation tools and expanded content for Recreation.Gov, the interagency website that guides visitors to 90,000 sites on public lands such as national parks, national wildlife refuges, forests, waterways and national recreation areas. 

Click here to see a short video highlighting all the places you can visit through recreation.gov.

The redesign of www.recreation.gov is an initial step in a multi-year strategy to engage visitors with enhanced interactive content and more multimedia, mobile, trip-planning tools. The seven million visitors who use the web site every year will be able to make reservations, see ready-made itineraries for destination cities, and search for activities on interactive maps. We hope you enjoy planning your next outdoor adventure through www.recreation.gov. 

Sincerely,

Ken Salazar 
Secretary of the Interior
