The agency is governed by a board of commissioners, each member of which is appointed by the Governor Of Nebraska to a 6-year term. Among the park facilities controlled by the commission are the state's 85 state-owned parks facilities, divided into four categories:
  • ''State Parks'' – Areas of Scientific , Historic , or scenic value that are of sufficient size to be developed for public use without infringing on the primary value of the area.

  • ''State Recreation Areas'' – Areas primarily of outdoor Recreational value. All the state's water-oriented parks fall into this category.

  • ''State Historical Parks'' – Areas primarily of significant historical value.

  • ''State Recreation Trails'' – Linear corridors of statewide or regional value designed for non-motorized recreational use.


The agency also manages over 250 state Wildlife Management Areas. The acquisition and maintenance of these areas is funded entirely through hunting and fishing license fees. Primitive Camping is generally allowed in these areas.
