We tested the new app ‘Acadia Nat’l Park’, created by a Maine resident

Tom Tash, a web developer and owner of Acadia East Campground in Gouldsboro, ME, created an app for all the Acadia National Park explorers out there. There are a few app options when it comes to national parks, trails, and even Acadia National Park specifically, but when we heard that this particular app was created by a true Mainer, we had to test it out.

If you want to test this app for yourself, make sure you download the right one, because as I said, there are several options. It is currently only available on Apple products (iOS), so if you have it downloaded on your Samsung, that is not the app we are discussing here. Android is promised to be available soon.

Search for “Acadia Nat’l Park.” You’ll see the logo shared above. You can also confirm the developer, Pocket Parks Campground, LLC and powered by Acadia East Campground.

Here’s What We Love About the Mainer-Created “Acadia Nat’l Park” App

1.) All the links you need for Acadia are neatly collected in this app and the maps are GPS compatible.

Navigate Acadia with ease. Our maps are integrated with GPS technology, making it easy to find trails, mountains, and essential services like ranger stations. Filter options let you customize your map view to show trails, activities, and more based on your interests.

2.) The app has a drop pin feature on the park map section, where it will tell you about all the trails near where you dropped the pin on the map. There are over 135 trails available on this app in Acadia National Park!

Our app provides everything from trail length and difficulty to scenic viewpoints and nearby attractions. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely stroll or a challenging hike, you’ll find all the details you need to choose the right trail.

3.) Must eat! The biggest challenge for someone new to the area and this beautiful national park is not knowing where to eat or better yet, finding a place to eat at one of the most recommended.

Discover over 80 local restaurants and amenities around Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Our app includes details about each location so you can find the perfect place to dine or relax after a day of adventure.

The app offers many more features, such as trail condition information and real-time updates on weather, closures, etc. Let me know what you think of the app in the Facebook post below!
