The official app of Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie offers a valuable resource for exploring the unique natural and cultural history of the area.

Created by Midewin's educational interpreters and rangers, the app includes exclusive interpretive tours designed for both visitors and those interested in remote exploration. Users can engage with various multimedia content, including audio narratives, image galleries, historic photographs, and GPS maps that enrich the storytelling of this significant landscape as seen through the expertise of dedicated conservationists.

In addition to its mobile tours, the app provides essential visitor information, such as location and directions, alerts for events, and available recreational opportunities. The integrated GPS functionality enables users to navigate the forest and identify nearby points of interest. For times when connectivity may be an issue, a static area map is also included to assist in orientation.
