In the USA parks are different than reserves or forests. National Parks has the stereotypical park ranger and guides, plus usually lodging and visitor centers and stuff. There are also national forests which probably have some trails and stuff but it’s mostly “here’s some land, good luck out there”. There are also wildlife preserves and stuff.

But ya, there still isn’t a huge amount of federal land in the east. I think the federal government got a lot stronger moving out west.
They do, didn’t you see the two parks in the occupied kingdom of Hawaii?
