4 Great Hikes for Limited Mobility

Just because your mobility is limited, doesn’t mean your access to nature should be.

1.
MacKerricher State Park

The lush and beautiful MacKerricher State Park has a wheelchair-accessible trail that weaves through the forest, into a lovely meadow and right up to the coast, all on a raised wooden platform that should be wide enough for your manual or power wheelchair.

Point Cabrillo Lighthouse

A staggeringly beautiful but physically gentle seaside hike up to the historic lighthouse, the well-maintained trail features gently sloping concrete pathways for wheelchair users and other amenities and necessities for those with mobility issues.

Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

Forty-seven acres of immaculately-tended gardens, dense pine, a world-class Rhododendron collection, and innumerable local flora, all culminating in coastal bluffs of riotous wildflowers, the Gardens are largely wheelchair-accessible.

Fort Bragg Coastal Trail

It was a big day for Fort Bragg when this trail opened up, as the project was hindered for many years by issues surrounding the site of the former mill. It is now a wonderful – and accessible – way to view the coastline around the town on an 8-foot wide paved trail. Plus, it starts at world-famous Glass Beach!

Keep Exploring the Magic!
