About OH State Parks Guide
The Ohio State Parks Pocket Ranger® app is now available!
This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created in a collaborative effort between ODNR Division of Ohio State Parks and ParksByNature Network™.
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.
Highlighted features include:
•Sleek user interface (UI) -- more photo-centric home screen design.
•Photo galleries on each park description page.
•Explore feature to help optimize search capabilities, allowing various ways to search by location, activities, category, and site name, making it easier to find the perfect recreational destination.
The app also has rich GPS features, such as:
•The Advanced GPS Map, complete with an accuracy and distance indicator, which allow you to access saved 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 features 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 Ohio 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.

Simple to use, just like other Pocket Ranger apps for other states. Easy to check for events, open and close times and hiking trails info. Also good info about campsites. We go to many OH parks each year and this app is very handy.

App worked easily. I just booked campsites for Beaver Creek in spring; not sure why that other reviewer couldnt get the smae info; just click on location and dates and all facility info and avails show immediately. Been using the app for a couple months, no problems. Also got similar app for PA.

Most important thing for me is the maps but advertisements keep covering it up.so you can't see all campground,or SITE NUMBERS or all of park.

Too many pop ups. Keep getting errors while trying to save maps offline. Cannot manage my ODNR account. It just demonstrates the continuing decline of ODNR funding by our current state governor.

Looks like it would be wonderful app but even though I exit the ad it pops back up before I can choose one key on the app. Sad really.

App has potential as is. I hope the GPS map feature will mark the state parks by default, with the ability to click a location on the map itself as this app advances. The advertisements are also a little invasive. Usability may be slightly higher than just browsing the website directly.

How do you get rid of the advertising that kerps popping up? It keeps you from using the app.

Going camping this weekend and thought it might be helpful. But I can't even get it to do anything once I get into a specific park's section! The screen just goes black!
