MWV AF Trails

The Mount Washington Valley Age-Friendly (MWV AF) Trails app shows trails from Ossipee to Harts Location in the New Hampshire White Mountains and adjacent Maine that are walkable by people of all ages and all abilities. Trails chosen for the app have minimal elevation change, minimal root and rock hazards, and are mostly wide enough for two people to walk side by side. ADA trails are clearly distinguished. The app was designed by, and trail tracks and photos were collected by, the Outdoor Spaces working group of the MWV Age-Friendly Community. The Mount Washington Valley Age-Friendly Community became a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities in 2018. The Age-Friendly community spans eleven towns in New Hampshire and one in Maine.

The app is intended to be simple and easy to use. In addition to following their progress along a trail using their devices location, users can collect their own tracks and record their own photos. Two different base maps can be used completely offline and, when the user has a cellular or wireless data connection, the user can also see the trails and photo locations plotted on an Apple satellite or road map. The built-in database shows the names of many lakes, summits, rivers, etc.
