Clemson University is planning a power outage on Saturday, December 10th. This will affect the availability of our images and documents. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have everything back up and running once it's over.

[OpenParksNetwork @OpenParks]

We apologize for our images not loading. We are experiencing unknown issues at the location for our server and are unable to provide an estimate for when they will be restored due to State employee holiday.

[OpenParksNetwork @OpenParks]

Server is back up and running. Thank you for your patience!

[OpenParksNetwork @OpenParks]

Please excuse us while we work on restoring access to images.

Happy #CanadaDay!

Our collections mostly focus on parks in the United States, but we found a Canadian family camping out in Cheraw State Park on their way back from visiting Florida in 1965. Thanks for visiting!
