Find your path: Access to Adventure

A Muir Woods visitor enjoying the accessibility or the wheelchair accessible boardwalk.

 

The national parks surrounds the bustling, urban setting of Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo. But for a number of folks with disabilities, park trails can be intimidating. Here are some of our recommendations! 

From redwood strolls to beach wheelchair access, the Parks Conservancy is making trails more inclusive for all. Discover accessible adventures across Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo counties—because everyone deserves a path to nature, beauty, and discovery.
