    • Shoreline Length and Water Area in the Ocean, Coastal, and Great Lakes Parks (Second Edition): GIS Data

    Metadata Updated: June 4, 2024

    Both this geodatabase and its associated web map display the shoreline miles and water acres within the 88 ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes National Park units. The following feature classes are included:

    "WRD Shoreline Miles Update 2024": Existing shoreline products from federal, state, and NPS sources were visually assessed for each park unit and compared to reference imagery within ESRI ArcGIS Pro to determine the best available data. The resulting shoreline delineation for each park unit was reviewed by NPS park, regional, national, and/or Inventory and Monitoring Network staff, and manual adjustments were made as needed to accurately reflect the shoreline.

    "WRD Water Acres Update 2024": For park units located in marine settings, “water acres” refers to ocean, estuarine, and tidally influenced waters. For park units in the Great Lakes region, “water acres” refers to freshwater. For all park units, freshwater bodies such as lakes, ponds, and rivers that exist inland of the marine or Great Lake shoreline are excluded.

"WRD Park Boundaries 2022": Data current as of December 2022, provided by NPS Land Resources Division (LRD) and accessible via NPS DataStore (with a few exceptions as noted within the attribute table).
