About KY State Parks Guide
The Official Guide for Kentucky State Parks Pocket Ranger® app has gotten a total makeover!
This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created in a collaborative effort between the Kentucky Department of Parks and ParksByNature Network®, and the next generation of the app is better than ever.
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 Kentucky 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.

I grew up in a family were Mom & Dad took us to every state Park in Kentucky and to many of our amazing national parks. I like this app because it marries the parks I love with the technology that myself & others want to use for the latest and most convenient information available.

The app crashes all the time. The Chevy ads are very distracting. You pull up the map to locate a park and there are Chevy logos all over the map. There are so many it makes it hard to use and click on the parks. It's one thing to have a small ad at the top or bottom of the app but to put a Chevy dealer locator on the map that out of hand... If you notice the Chevy dealers don't show up in the screen shots for the app preview. Come on... Use some common sense here!

I used to really enjoy using this app. I don't mind the occasional ad, and I'll even suffer through annoying pop-us. But when I search for a list of parks and get a list of CAR DEALERSHIPS instead, then the app has lost its usefulness for me. I'm uninstalling it, which is a shame because the app used to be very good.

You're better off going to the park's website. This app promises the world and delivers frustration with no answers. If you're looking for public use areas you won't find them on the map. Trails on the map? Nope. Overlay with public use land? Nope. Wasted time with overbearing permissions? Yes.
