Weekend-designated parks whose reviews also mention camping or campsites.

Parks where the review mentions beaches, swimming areas, or swimming ponds.

Parks where historical sites, CCC-era features, interpretation, lighthouses, or mounds are part of the reviewed experience.

Parks whose reviews call out scenic views, overlooks, sunsets, sunrises, or fall color.

Every park classified in the original booklet as an “On the Way” trip.

Parks given a 5.0-pine rating in the original booklet.
