This official app is a portal for exploring the diverse lands and heritage sites managed by the U.S. Forest Service. A powerful exploration tool, this app allows you to discover forests near you and can help you explore each destination's points of interest. Use this app for easy access to forest facts, natural, cultural, and historic information, offline and GPS maps, recreational opportunities, and other essential visitor information to enjoy our National Forests and Grasslands. The perfect companion for your next forest adventure or armchair travels, each app was developed by the forest unit’s rangers and interpretive staff and features a variety of content, including educational audio tours and natural and historic imagery. Plan your itinerary of things to see and do with easy access to information regarding recreational opportunities, trails, maps, and visitor centers. Each forest destination can be downloaded individually from the portal, allowing you to stay up to date with your favorite destinations through push notifications alerts for closures and events. Connect with Visitor Centers and Ranger Stations using one-tap calling and submit valuable feedback or report concerns with surveys. OnCell has worked closely with each forest as the official provider of their mobile apps. You can expect additional forests to be added to this app over time, as the U.S. Forest Service continues it's commitment to provide exciting and relevant visitor information in easy to access formats.

The Chocorua Map app is a mobile guide to trails and points of interest (POIs) in and around Mt. Chocorua and its eponymous Lake, especially the area preserved, directly or indirectly, by the Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC). If you allow the app to use your location (e.g., GPS), you can find and track your position on the map. The app contains abundant information on trails, including how long it should take at a given pace, as well as historical and geological points of interest.. Measure distances and compass bearings by tapping and dragging on the map. Publicly accessible lands of different types are shown with transparent color overlay. The background map was rendered from LiDAR topography and has a resolution of 1 meter. The app's built-in POIs describe sites of historical interest, unique landscape features and how they developed, and features of geological and ecological significance. The user may enter their own POIs and attach photos to them; all user-entered information remains private to user's device. The user can share their POIs with other people or apps via the standard iOS Sharing Panel. The app is completely self-contained: No internet connection is necessary. Furthermore, user data is NEVER uploaded automatically to the Internet and can never be seen by the app programmer, CLC, or any other third party. This app is for educational purposes only and should not be used as a sole source of navigation.
