About New York State Parks
Pocket Ranger®'s New York State Parks Guide app is now available!
Powered by Pocket Ranger® technology, the app gives outdoor enthusiasts an environmentally friendly way to enjoy the parks. It contains everything you need to plan a trip to the state parks, navigate them once you get there, and share your experiences afterward.
Newly added features:
•New user interface (UI) with a sleek, more photo-centric home screen design.
•Photo galleries on each park description page.
•A new Explore feature to optimize search capabilities, allowing a 4-in-1 search by location, activities, category, and site name, making it easier to find the perfect recreational destination.
The app still has rich GPS features, such as:
•Advanced GPS Maps, complete with an accuracy and distance indicator, which allow you to access trail data, record tracks from hikes, runs, or bike rides, and view elapsed time and distance traveled.
•Easy-to-cache GPS Terrain Map tiles, which ensure that navigation remains possible in the event of lost mobile reception.
•Photo waypoint feature allowing you to snap a photo and mark and record the coordinates of plant life, animal species or landscape views. Post or share these remarkable finds with family and friends with the click of a button.
•Friend Finder feature that tracks friends and family around the parks.
•Built-in compass.
•Potentially life-saving Alert feature that supplies GPS coordinates to designated contacts in case of an emergency.
Other standard features make exploring the great outdoors a breeze:
•Thorough information on all state parks including general policy, contact information, activities, trails, park maps and much more.
•Detailed, cacheable maps of park facilities, trails and campgrounds.
•Up-to-date news, park advisories and weather information.
•Sharing features for sharing current positions, waypoints and recorded tracks via Facebook, Twitter, or email.
•A real-time Calendar of Events.
•Access to online reservations that make it easy to secure overnight visits.
•Plus so much more!
With the Pocket Ranger® in hand, prepare to bask in the vast natural wonders of New York State Parks!
•The enhanced pro features on the app are designed to function in areas with little to no mobile reception; however, some of the features require mobile data reception in order to function properly.
•Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Doesn't accept any zip codes or state parks on Samsung S7 running Android 6. Worse than useless. Left us stranded without any information. Best to buy paper maps.

Uninstalled! I keep entering my zip code and Albany NY which is close to my residence and it keeps saying 'invalid zip code'. This is NYS! How can I get to know your parks & visit them if you can't even show me the ones you have close to where I live? Not Good!

The app would be amazing if it worked properly. However, I cannot get it off the events page, (that's completely blank-with zero upcoming events...), Even after multiple uninstall and reinstall attempts.....

All I get is an 'invalid zip code' error, it won't search by park name, and it crashes. Completely useless and broken app.

This app is horrible. It does not work at all. It thinks all zip codes are invalid and refuses to find a park by name. I literally could not get past the first screen where you are supposed to enter search criteria (zip code or name) for a park.

Can't search by zip or park name. Can't open up a regular map to select a park. App is useless. Should be removed from downloadable apps.

It worked great when I first got it. I went to Minnewaska, and as long as I had the app open, I had a trail map and it didn't use any data. Of course I was SOL when I closed it to save battery. Now, all I get is invalid zip code, and I can't search by park name anymore. It's been like this for months. It was a great up when it worked.

Wow, a very horrible experience! It calls all zip codes invalid, and doesn't recognize and parks by name. Not sure what you could use this for, maybe practice your cursing...
