Reisa National Park (Norwegian: Reisa nasjonalpark; Northern Sami: Ráissa álbmotlaš meahcci[1]) is a national park in Nordreisa Municipality in Troms county, Norway that was established by royal decree on 28 November 1986.
[3] The valley and adjacent mountains have been valuable for hunting, animal trapping, and fishing for centuries.
Nearly every farm in the valley earned extra income making tar, and production continued far into the 20th century.
The park and surrounding areas provided spring, summer, and autumn grazing for semi-domesticated reindeer.
In winter, the reindeer in this region graze in the nearby Kautokeino Municipality in Finnmark county to the south of the park; in summer, they are on the coast in the northwest.
