BISMARCK — A new state snowmobile trail app is giving users a way to access information on the 13 state snowmobile trails that total just over 2,800 miles. Snowmobile enthusiasts can download the Snowmobile North Dakota app to track trips, track current location on a trail using GPS, get updates on trail conditions, locate nearby amenities and save and load itineraries.

The mobile app was developed in partnership with the North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department and Snowmobile North Dakota. The basic version is free to download on both Apple and Android products and does not require data usage. More features are available by upgrading to the pro version.

The new interactive trail map is also available online via desktop computer. The online version includes the same trail status features and amenity icons as the mobile app and also has a Plan Your Trip function providing turn-by-turn directions and total mileage from point A to point B as selected by the user. Online trail maps and current trail conditions can be found at www.snowmobilend.org/.

The state snowmobile trails are open through April, providing that the trail has a minimum of four inches of packed snow. Trails are maintained by members of Snowmobile North Dakota.
