1st this is more appropriate for discussion on the qgis-user list.
2nd QGIS is a data viewer and analysis tool not a data source.

You will need to find a data source for your site. I don't actually
think there is any one single source for the information you're looking
for. A good start would be National Parks, State Parks and Public lands
layers. You might also want to look at products offered by SimpleGeo.
