Mobility Summer Fun

Summertime is here, and this is the season that many people love to travel. However, if you or someone you know requires any accessibility accommodations, this may look different. If you’ve ever looked for things to do that are ADA compliant and accessible for those with mobility equipment, let this be a starting point to your outdoor fun! Below are some activities in Michigan that are ADA compliant and accessible for those needing assistance with their mobility.

• State Parks – Many state parks in Michigan have worked on making the beaches accessible. They have added wheelchair-accessible ramps, wide paved pathways, mobility mats, and some even have beach wheelchairs.
• Accessible Campsites – Michigan State Parks have camping options that are accessible and many different styles of lodging with access routes!
• Track Chairs – Track chairs are better for outdoor activities than traditional wheelchairs because they help you explore areas you might not get to otherwise. These are off-road electronic chairs and can easily handle snow, sand, and up to eight inches of water.
