Hiking

All hiking trails except for Beaver Slide trail are level and wheelchair or stroller friendly for a total of 4.5 miles. The trail surface is unimproved, so wet conditions may affect accessibility.

The Solar Walk trail is paved and flat, however there is not an accessible entrance to the trail. The trail is most easily accessed from the parking lot near the beginning of the Wolfpen Hike and Bike Trail. From here, you will need to cross rough, uneven ground between the parking lot and the trail. 

Camping

Campsite #46 is accessible with an extended picnic table, raised grill and a sidewalk from the parking area to the picnic table pad.
