Midewin Nat. Tallgrass Prairie

The official app of the Midewin National Forest

This app provides exclusive tours and content created by Midewin's educational Interpreters and Rangers. Through these interpretive tours, visitors and armchair travelers alike can learn more about the area’s diverse natural and cultural history. Featuring audio, image galleries, historic imagery, and GPS maps, the app tells the story of our rich landscape through the eyes and words of those dedicated to preserving it.

In addition to a mobile tour, use this app for easy access to valuable visitor information, including location and way-finding information, alerts and events, and recreational opportunities. A GPS map allows visitors to explore our forest and locate nearby points of interest. A static area map also helps orient you when connectivity is not available.

Downloading this app will store its contents on your device, so you can continue to access the tour and information when there is no cell coverage in the forest.

This app is powered by OnCell, an official mobile partner of the U.S. Forest Service.
