Acadia National Park is a beautiful place to visit but is also massive so without helpful information like this there is a good chance you could miss out on some of the park’s highlights.

 

A Wealth of Information

The saying of "it’s a wealth of information" is perfect when describing this app. There are descriptions and locations for every picnic area, parking lot, and restroom in the entire park. Check out the tidal data that has been collected for many years now as well as the sunrise and sunset data. A great and fun way to explore is with the 35-minute audio tour or by using the Park Loop Road that features more than 28 points of interest.

The best iPad apps for traveling abroad

Did you know the park rangers hold events on a regular basis? Well thanks to the app you can read about them and view a schedule. There is also a free Island Explorer shuttle bus for which the app provides the schedule.

I do find the user interface to be a bit of a letdown as it just feels rather dull. Because the app is so full of information you’re willing to overlook the user interface. It’s also easy to navigate, which is another big plus.
