Social Media

We use social media to reach new audiences and create a vibrant community of park advocates. We also look to promote a deeper understanding of national parks by providing accurate, engaging, and timely content, as well as share important news and events from more than 400 parks and National Park Service (NPS) programs. Follow, share, and be a part of the conversation with the NPS!

Things to Know

• Keep safety in the picture! While we want you to capture all of the splendor of amazing parks through social media, it’s important to practice responsible online photo sharing. Posting about conservation, leave no trace, and safety helps spread and support the mission of the National Park Service. Be mindful of what your images portray. Do not promote illegal or unsafe behavior.

• Unmanned aircraft use may be prohibited at the park you are visiting. Due to concerns about the negative impact that flying unmanned aircraft can have on the safety of visitors, staff, and wildlife, they have been restricted in all but a few parks.
