The Bureau of Reclamation is an agency in the Department of Interior that provides more than 80 million visitors a year with exciting water-based recreation. They have constructed 250 lakes and reservoirs in 17 western states.
Recreation areas surrounding each lake provide opportunities for camping and picnicking.
Nearly 200 of these areas are non-federal parks such as state and county parks. Many areas are also managed by the US Forest Service or National Park Service.
