accessible trails

Easy-to-navigate routes

Accessible trails are paths designed to accommodate people with mobility limitations, including wheelchair users.

They typically feature firm, level surfaces, gentle grades, and adequate width for assistive devices.

The park added several accessible trails last year.

The term appears in outdoor recreation contexts where terrain might otherwise exclude disabled visitors.
