(NAPSI) - An entertaining way to get out and experience nature while promoting an active, healthier lifestyle with your family may be to visit a national park. There are over 400 parks and sites throughout the U.S. Here are some hints on how to make the most of your park time:

 

If You Only Have One Day

Most parks offer a fun and free way to get outside and enjoy the natural wonders of this country. A rewarding day could include picnicking, walking, bicycling, fishing or horseback riding. Also, most parks have a variety of hiking trails that will give you something different to explore every time you visit.

If You Have a Few Days

Whether you’re a nature aficionado who prefers to “tent camp” or a newcomer who enjoys the comforts of a cabin, there are accommodations suited for practically any preference. Spend a few days to get the most out of your “family time” by doing fun activities, while learning firsthand about natural features, wildlife and history.

Fun at the Park Back at Home

For national park fun in the comfort of your home, you can watch “Yogi Bear,” the heartwarming Blu-ray combo pack and DVD now available from Warner Bros. The family-friendly film features everyone’s favorite pic-a-nic basket−stealing bear, Yogi. In the latest live-action adventure, Yogi discovers that JellystonePark is being sold, tossing him, Boo Boo and all their friends out of the only home they’ve ever known. He and Boo Boo join forces with his long-standing friendly rival, Ranger Smith, and must find a way to save the park. Set against the natural beauty of national parks, “Yogi Bear” is a great way to show your family all the fun the outdoors has to offer.

National parks can be a wonderful getaway for families to have some fun while making invaluable memories that will last a lifetime.
