The outdoors are for everybody — and there are plenty of hikes in our area that are friendly to wheelchairs, strollers, and other mobility aids.
Here are three of our picks:
Anchorage Trail
, Downtown Anchorage, 1500 Evergreen Rd.
This 10-ft wide paved path begins with a herringbone brick
walk before it winds through a park-like setting. It travels past open fields and Willow Lake + ends under a light tree canopy.
Iroquois Park Overlook
, Iroquois Park, 521 New Cut Rd.
Get sweeping views of downtown LOU at the summit of this paved route, which is only open to vehicular traffic one weekend a month.
Scenic Loop Trail
, 745 Cochran Hill Rd.
Enjoy trees and open meadows in this Frederick Law Olmsted-designed park in the Highlands. The paved 2.3-mile loop is relatively flat with an average grade of 5%.
