accessible trail
Easy-to-traverse route
An accessible trail is a path designed for people with disabilities, typically featuring firm surfaces, gentle grades, and adequate width for wheelchairs or mobility devices.
The term appears on trail signage and park maps to indicate routes meeting accessibility standards: The accessible trail leads to the overlook.
Not all accessible trails accommodate every disability—some may be wheelchair-friendly but challenging for those with visual impairments.
