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.

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.
