How the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy Is Making Tennessee State Parks More Accessible
What does accessibility in nature really look like?
Bradley finally saw the waterfalls at his favorite park, Cummins Falls State Park, thanks to an all-terrain wheelchair and an ADA-accessible overlook.
Carly launched her kayak independently using an accessible parking pad, launch, and transfer system. With the help of a free all-terrain wheelchair rental.
Whitney explored the trails at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park. At Natchez Trace State Park.
While Micah and his family can stay longer and enjoy more time together, thanks to the adult changing stations.
These experiences remind us that everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy Tennessee’s natural beauty.
The Tennessee State Parks Conservancy is helping make that vision a reality. Through donor support, partnerships, and accessibility initiatives, we are helping Tennessee State Parks become more welcoming and inclusive for visitors of all abilities.
If you believe everyone should have access to Tennessee’s great outdoors, we invite you to support the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy and help create a more accessible future.
