Many national parks have GIS data available for download through the National Parks Service data store. While checking the license of available GIS data is always appropriate, US Government works are in the public domain. There are some files very relevant to OSM (trails and roads; recreation points listing campsites, docks etc) and some not so useful to the normal OSM reader (wildlife habitats).
