Personally, I love visiting national parks… And I love maps.
The thinking here (and related maps I plan to add), is to help plan out trips. With this map, I can look at a region and find some national parks to look up.
Of course, not all National Parks are created equal. For example, Israel has over 60 national parks, and yet Papua New Guinea is a much larger country (with much more wildlife, marine life / coasts, jungles, mountains, and nature in general) with only 4 national parks.
Never the less, these are natural areas (usually) that the government thinks worthy to preserve. If you’re planning a trip somewhere, it could be worth checking out the map below.

This is an awesome resource. Thank you for sharing!
Amazing work, Drew!!
I would love to hear some of the less known but beautiful parks around the world in the comments sections. I love Zion, but most either visited it or on the bucket list.
My vote is Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. It’s also easy to do/drive on your own.
Theth / valbone national parks, Albania have my vote.
Nice job, but I have an error report: three parks mapped to the state of Georgia are in the Country of Georgia
Great resource! Missing the national parks in Malaysian Borneo which are well worth a visit (Bako National Park, Gunung Mulu, Mount Kinabalu, and others).
Great resource! Please note that Sandbanks Park in Ontario, Canada is a provincial park. The Sandbanks National Park indicated is in Australia.
Drew.Just wanted to commend on the excellent resource. Good job, again.
Hey Drew,
Another great resource!
Do you have plans to crowdsource the list? If so, I’d like to help… Google still has issues plotting areas in the Philippines. There are some national parks I know of that aren’t listed in Wikipedia.

Great resource – one issue, national parks of Georgia the country are showing up in Georgia the state.
thanks– great– (but) this one Guiana Amazonian Park which should be in a French overseas territory, is posted in southern France, n. of Toulouse
The park in georgia the state is supposed to be in Georgia the country I think… just FYI.
Algeti National Park in Gergia America? No… its in the country of Georgia.
You really come up with some amazing ideas for resources. No wonder why I keep coming back to this site.
Cheers Drew!
Great resource. When you take out all the National Forest, Byways and Monuments, the Midwest is lacking in parks. Kinda scary.
Great map! But why is Ukraine “empty”? Realy there are at least 45 national parks in our country!
