Find Wheelchair Accessible Trails by StateHelpful information about Wheelchair Accessible Trails
Many routes listed on TrailLink are wheelchair accessible trails, providing not only recreation but safe pathways for wheelchair users and others with special mobility needs. While standards for ADA compliance on wheelchair trails are not uniform, many trail management groups do make wheelchair accessibility a priority. Our criteria for trail accessibility consider the trail's grade, surface, and width as well as its access points.
Routes noted as wheelchair trails on this website generally have an asphalt or concrete surface, although some crushed limestone trails are also suitable for wheelchairs. We try to note convenient access points and accessible parking facilities. However, not all trails marked as wheelchair friendly are accessible throughout the entire trail's length. When in doubt, check the links provided with a particular trail (under "Related Content" on the trail description page) to see if it truly is a wheelchair accessible trail.
The trail description on TrailLink should indicate where sections are not wheelchair accessible, but again, some don't simply because we may not have that information. We do rely on local trail users, so let us know the details if you encounter useful information—or misinformation!
All trails listed on TrailLink are multiuse, so keep in mind the common right-of-way rules of thumb, unless otherwise posted on the trail: wheelchair users yield to horses.
