Frequently asked questions
How many national parks does Canada have?
Parks Canada administers 48 federally protected areas as national parks or national park reserves. This page covers all of them across every province and territory.
What is the difference between a national park and a national park reserve?
National park reserves are lands intended to become national parks once Indigenous land claims and treaty rights are settled. They receive the same ecological protection in the meantime.
Does this page upload anything?
No. The full park dataset is bundled with the page and search and filtering run entirely in your browser. The map only loads OpenStreetMap tiles to render the geography.
Where does the park coordinate data come from?
Park names and approximate coordinates are based on Parks Canada's public Find a national park directory. Coordinates are representative points inside each park, not official boundaries.
Source
