Hide Profile

The Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) is a U.S. National Recreation Area protecting 82,116 acres of ecologically and historically significant landscapes surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area. GGNRA is managed by the National Park Service and is the second-most visited unit of the National Park system in the United States. The park is not one continuous locale but rather a collection of areas that stretch from southern San Mateo County to northern Marin County and includes several areas of San Francisco. The park is as diverse as it is expansive; it contains famous tourist attractions such as Muir Woods National Monument, Alcatraz, and the Presidio of San Francisco.
