  Hard to navigate website

  I have been using this site for a while and know how to navigate it; however , it is not intuitive and you need to know the actual wilderness area the trail is in even if you know the trail name and location. New users have a lot of difficulty with that.

  Great app for reservations!

  We have used the Recreation.gov many times to make reservations and it can be used for Scan and Pay even when you don’t have cell service.
