About the Game

In Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator, you take on the everyday responsibilities of a real park ranger in the stunning Faremont National Park. Restore and maintain scenic trails, assist visitors, and document wildlife in a living, breathing ecosystem.
You’ll clear blocked paths, collect litter, fix broken signs – and occasionally drop everything to respond to urgent wildlife sightings or missing hikers. Each day brings new tasks and surprises.
Faremont’s diverse biomes range from dense forests and meadows to winding rivers. With your ranger pickup, you’ll cover long distances along the park’s road network, reaching remote areas filled with natural landmarks like waterfalls, rock formations, and scenic viewpoints.
As you explore, use your camera to observe animal behavior and expand your personal wildlife lexicon. From elusive wolves and majestic eagles to mischievous raccoons, each species adds life to the park’s biological habitat.
But your job isn’t just about nature – it’s also about people. You’ll guide campers, check permits, respond to emergencies, and ensure that the park remains welcoming and safe.

Rangers, report back for duty – Early Access Content Update 1 is now live!
Faremont National Park is busier than ever, with new duties and responsibilities.
With this update, your role as a ranger expands, introducing new tasks across the park, alongside the Park Review Score system and a new off-road vehicle to support your patrols.
To celebrate the release, check out our brand-new trailer:

🌲 A Park worth protecting
With Update 1, your work as a ranger truly shapes Faremont National Park. The Park Review Score reflects the overall health and quality of the park, tying together everything you do out in the field. By maintaining trails, responding to callouts, and taking care of the environment, you steadily improve the park’s reputation and unlock new rewards along the way. What you protect today will define the park of tomorrow.

📻 New Callouts & Ranger Duties

🎒 Backpack Search
While we love welcoming new visitors to the park, not everyone follows the rules. The Backpack Search callout introduces new situations that require careful observation and attention to detail. As a ranger, you will inspect visitors and uncover illegal activities taking place within the park.
This includes tracking illegal drone operators by spotting drones in the sky and identifying their controllers, catching vandals in the act of spraying benches, and locating poachers who disturb protected flora. Keeping Faremont safe now depends more than ever on your awareness and instincts.

🌿 Flora Survey
With the Flora Survey callout, you take on the role of monitoring the health of plant life across the park. You will be dispatched to specific areas where you must locate designated flora using your Ranger Sense, assess their condition, and take action if necessary. Every inspection contributes to preserving the balance of the ecosystem and ensuring that Faremont National Park remains a thriving natural habitat.

📦 Restock Missions
The Restock callout focuses on keeping the park functional and welcoming for visitors. You will collect supplies from ranger facilities and distribute them to locations such as trailheads, information panels, and campsites. By ensuring that maps, brochures, and campfire supplies are always available, you help create a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone exploring Faremont National Park.

🚚 Transport Missions
The Transport callout introduces logistics-focused tasks that are essential for daily park operations. You will gather items from multiple locations and deliver them to a central destination, supporting activities such as weather data collection, waste management, and campsite maintenance. While these tasks may seem menial, they are the kind of behind-the-scenes work that keeps the park running smoothly and ensures everything is where it needs to be.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45730064/65fd9b1b37edb4e0a9780a51bbaf89987f0204c4.jpg"]🛻 New Vehicle: Trailhawk Summit Utility Vehicle
To support your expanded duties, Update 1 introduces the Trailhawk Summit Utility Vehicle, a rugged and reliable vehicle designed for off-road patrols. Compared to the pickup truck, it offers improved maneuverability and handling on rough terrain, making it especially useful on forest trails and uneven ground. Whether you are responding to a callout or exploring remote areas of the park, the Jeep ensures you can get there with confidence.
