Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park — The claim that the Gunnison River set its course 15 million years ago is incorrect; the river's course was established about 2 to 3 million years ago.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park — The claim that the river he had called the Grand was renamed in his honor is inaccurate; Captain John Williams Gunnison did not call the river the Grand, and the Grand River is a separate river.

Dinosaur Provincial Park — The first warden of Dinosaur Provincial Park was John 'Jack' Horner, not Roy Fowler.

Dinosaur Provincial Park — The road distance from Dinosaur Provincial Park to the Royal Tyrrell Museum is approximately 200 kilometers, not 100.

White Sands National Park — The park area is listed as 145,762 acres, but the official NPS figure is 146,344 acres as of the most recent boundary adjustment.

White Sands National Park — The percentage of the gypsum dunefield covered by the park is slightly off because the acreage used is outdated; the correct acreage yields a different percentage.

Wind Cave National Park — The entry states Wind Cave is the seventh national park in the U.S., but it is actually the sixth.

Wood Buffalo National Park — The number of wood bison relocated from the Nyarling River herd in 1957 was 18, not 23; the current population at Elk Island National Park is over 400, not 300.
