The park in your pocket!
A new mobile app, Gooseberry Falls Go, puts Gooseberry Falls State Park in your pocket. The app is available free from Apple and Android app stores. It uses a "GeoAlert" function to notify hikers with sound or vibration as they approach points of interest, such as rock formations and historic sites, along various routes within the park. Once you download the Gooseberry Falls Go app to your smart phone, you can take the interpretive route of your choice, and you can go at your own pace. The app will help you notice things you might not otherwise have seen, like a live naturalist would.
