Wheelchair friendly, All-access trails

Some of these paths below are paved, some are packed gravel, and some are smooth, wide dirt paths. A few of the preserves or trail systems listed here just have a portion of trails that are paved or otherwise okay for wheels. Other trails are not listed here because they’re slightly rougher but still passable and can be searched on my site if you type ‘wheelchair’ into the search bar. My father used a wheelchair — so I try to evaluate trails based on whether I think I would have been able to successfully push him! He loved the outdoors and was always looking for a way to access it.
