Phone Apps to Level up your outdoor adventures

If you're going to have it with you, it better carry it's own weight.
Make your phone more then dead weight with these outdoor themed smart phone apps. Work smarter not harder! At least until you lose service.

our top 9 picks


 1. All Trails
The All Trails app is a perfect addition to your hikes. It is packed full of trail maps, information, photos and reviews from your fellow hikers. You can also record your hikes and the app will automatically chart your data. If you are hiking a new trail, ticking off your hiking bucket list or just curious about your hiking stats All trails might be perfect for you. 
The app is free.
​
2. Pa Fish & Boat Commission
Get mobile access to stocking schedules and streams. Find out information on rules and regulations for fishing and boating in the state of Pennsylvania. This is a free app.

3. Hipcamp
Looking for private campsites? Trying to avoid crowds, campgrounds and get a more catered experience? This might be the app for you, Hipcamp is for booking reservations. This is a relatively new idea, it's a lot like Air B&B but for camping! Read detailed descriptions and reviews of the campsites and hosts before staying. This is a free app.

4. Pa Game Commission
The Pa Game Commission app is a great resource for maps, seasons dates, regulations and more. Find Pennsylvania specific information on the go. This is a free app.

5. OnXHunt
OnXHunt is a fantastic app for GPS, maps, waypoints, and accurate landownership information. We use this app to check property lines and ensure we are never trespassing on private property during our adventures. This is a paid app but you can try it out with a 7 day free trial.

6. Outdoorsy

7. Fish Brain

8. Geocache
This is a fun way to hit the trails, especially with the kids. Use the Geocache app to hunt down different types of caches for fun. Track the geocaches you find in the app and sign the log books in the actual caches once you find them.  Who doesn't like finding hidden treasure? The app is free but also offers a paid version with significantly more geocaches available to find.

TheDyrt is for booking campsites. Find campsites all over the country in National Parks, Large Campgrounds and private campsites.
