In the United States, a national reserve is a protected area administered by the National Park Service. While it is a protected area similar to a national park, the rules for use are usually more relaxed and varied.
Currently, there are 4 national reserves:
City of Rocks National Reserve (Idaho). Known for granite spires, California Trail landmarks, and rock climbing areas. Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve (Washington). Area comprising coastal cliffs, meadows, and farmland. Ice Age National Scientific Reserve (Wisconsin). Preserves landforms created during the last Ice age, and part of the Ice Age Trail. Pinelands National Reserve (New Jersey). Protects the Pine Barrens ecosystem in New Jersey.
