Tennessee - Here's exciting news for persons who have mobility challenges. Tennessee State Parks are offering all terrain wheel chairs free to visitors, on an “as available” basis. It is suggested that you reserve one in advance.
All-terrain wheelchairs are revolutionizing outdoor accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments. Designed to navigate diverse landscapes, these specialized wheelchairs empower park visitors to explore natural environments that were once off-limits.
In this area, the all-terrain wheel chairs are at Long Hunters State Park on the Davidson-Rutherford County line, Radnor Lake, Henry Horton, Tims Ford, and Natchez Trace.
Breaking Barriers--Accessible Trails for All

Independence and Inclusion
The all-terrain wheelchair experience is liberating. Visitors of all ages—children and adults alike—can operate these chairs independently. For those who require assistance, caretaker control options are available. It’s about more than mobility; it’s about fostering a sense of belonging and adventure.
Park-Specific Trails
