We are enjoying the great outdoors on the natural trails of Minnesota.  You to can ride the great north woods on your cart, scooter, or chair along trails that have been evaluated for use by trail users with health limits or disablities.  Our goal is to facilitate trail use through the involvement of the 9% to 19% of the general population that have health limits or are disabled, and given access to trails under provisions of the ADA.  You can use our maps and information ot have an enjoyable trail experience.  If you want to go beyond just useage, we offer the opportunity for you to evaluate natural trails for disabled use by chairs or carts.  Join our group - Wheels On Trails - and provide some additional support to your disabled friends across the nation.  Our website emphasizes our organization goals of :
INVOLVEMENT: including disabled and non-disabled trail users
EVALUATION: emphasizing ADA based assessment by trail users with disabilities
MODIFICATION: adaptations to carts and chairs for trail use
PUBLICATION: generating a newsletter, internet site, trail maps, and booklets
