The Wheels On Trails

Site is -

  UNDER CONSTRUCTION

    We are enjoying the great outdoors on natural trails in  Duluth, Mn. You  too - can hike the great north woods in beautiful Minnesota on your cart, scooter, or chair along trails that have been evaluated for safe use by people with disabilities and /or health limits.  Our goal is to facilitate trail use through involvement of the 20%+ of the U.S. population that has a disability or health type of limitation.  Since 1990 the ADA has guaranteed equitable use of parks and trails, though the final RULE making is just now being completed.    

What We Do

    Work is in two major areas -

                EXPANDING HORIZONS:

   In 2009 we obtained a Johnson Foundation grant to support moving from inside of buildings onto natural trails, for people with disabilities. Our goal is to support 'positive experiences' for as many people with disabilities as possible,  using trail 'mentors' to provide assistance.  

       ACCESSIBLE TRAIL EVALUATION: 

   At the Nebraska conference in 2009, Randall Vogt described our trail evaluation efforts as - "

  "JUST TELL US WHERE THE BUMPS ARE"

  We have completed 10 'Accessible Trail Maps' of Duluth trails that are partially accessible experiences. We feel if one knows where the travel issues are, they can make intelligent travel decisions.  Our goal is to support 'safe trail experiences' for people with disabilities.
