Beaches

Many of our state parks with beaches feature different elements of accessibility on a normally inaccessible terrain.

A specially adapted chair and plastic grid system ease travel on the beach and into shallow water at Whitefish Dunes.

Some parks have specialized beach wheelchairs which have large inflatable tires that allow for easy rolling on sand and entry into the water. Others have laid down accessible beach trails that provide a solid surface for people in wheelchairs or those who have difficulty walking. Come get your feet wet!
