About this app

The official Eastern Region National Forest app provides essential information about the National Forests from Minnesota to Maine, and from Missouri to West Virginia. This app includes information on recreational activities and sites, trail permit information, alerts, maps, news, events, directions and contact information. Plan and prepare your visit to the Forest with the many great tools and features such as “Things to Know”, “Things to See”, “Things to Do” and “Near Me”.

The Eastern Region is home to 55 designated wildernesses, 20 wild and scenic rivers, 12 congressional study rivers, 5 national recreation areas, and 4 national scenic trails.

These congressionally designated areas are a unique and vital resource. In addition to offering recreation opportunities, they are valuable for their scientific and educational uses, serve as benchmarks for ecological studies, and preserve the diversity of historical and natural features found within the Region.

Ratings and reviews

This is an app, provided by the Forest Service for the Eastern region of the US. However, it has no information for over half the eastern coastal states... Upon further research, I can't find a single forest service app (there's so many) that has any sort of reliability of decent reviews. While I understand the sheer magnitude of covering such vast areas must be a programming nightmare I feel like picking a certain amount of specific regions and focusing attention on those would be ideal.

love this app, this is a must have resource for those who enjoy spending time at any national forest land. I use it all the time before I go to Hoosier national Forrest and Shawnee national Forest.

Never works, it's the government so it's not shocking.
