Welcome to Great Wheelchair Accessible Hikes.com!
This site was started in 2008 to share information about wheelchair accessible hiking trails with others who enjoy getting outside! After visiting Sand Harbor State Park on Lake Tahoe, I decided to start this site. The boardwalk trail running through the coves was so beautiful; I wanted to share it with others. So that's how this all began!
Personally, I consider a trail accessible if it's wide enough to allow passage for a wheelchair, has a hard surface like pavement or compacted dirt which is mostly free of ruts and bumps, the elevation change is limited or gradual and has interesting scenery, which can be natural or urban. The hikes listed here may not be appropriate or safe for all hikers. Each hiker must determine for himself if the hike is appropriate for him or herself.
Thank you to the hikers from around the world who have contributed trail information! Keep the contributions coming so we can all explore new trails.
Enjoy!

In the midst of the complexities of modern life, with all its pressures, the spirit of man needs
to refresh itself by communion with unspoiled nature.
In such surroundings- occasional as our visits may be- we can achieve that kind of
physical and spiritual renewal that comes alone from the wonder of the natural world.
