To kick off Great Outdoors Month, the U.S. Forest Service has launched a new, single visitor-information mobile app to help people plan their summer trips to recreation sites across the National Forest System. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
The National Forests and Grasslands app provides the most complete and accurate collection of Forest Service recreation sites that has ever been made available to the public, along with important planning tools like critical safety alerts, closures, amenity details and more.
With the app, users can design their own adventure by identifying and favoriting recreation activities on national forest lands within a selected radius. Visitors can search for a wide range of activities such as hunting and fishing, water activities like canoeing or rafting, bike – or equestrian – friendly trails, and campsites based on available amenities.
Downloading maps ahead of time allows users to access their location even in remote areas where there is no cellular service. Optional map layers, including fire information and National Weather Service alerts, can be toggled on to provide a complete picture of the environment at your destination. The app is available for download on the Apple Store or Google Play.
