There’s an App for That
The Pennsylvania
Parks and Forests Foundation has created Smartphone Apps for Your Outdoor Adventures, a compilation of 180
apps to guide people on outdoor adventures through 121 state parks and more
than 2 million acres of forest (Tinyurl.com/OutdoorAppList).
The guide features links to easily download the app of choice, including the
cost of the app, user rating and associated website. Compiled in chart form,
the apps are sorted according to subject, such as stargazing, nature
identification, fishing, boating, hunting, trails, weather, scavenger hunting
apps and more.
Apps can
be valuable tools to help users plan ahead to unplug while outdoors, tracking
physical health goals or for finding a moment of Zen. The foundation also
offers publications on how to get started with horseback riding, cross-country
skiing, hunting, fishing and where to find them. Other topics include How to
Choose a Water Purifier and Pet First-Aid.
