The U.S. has designated some 840 million acres as public land set aside for all. That acreage, open to everyone to enjoy, adds up to more than one-third of the country.

Public lands provide opportunities for people of all means and backgrounds to hike, ski, camp, fish, hunt, watch wildlife and much more, and without this public access, these opportunities would be relegated to private, wealthy interests.
