Parks Mobility Guide

In 2024 Arkansas State Parks launched the All-Terrain Wheelchair program at Pinnacle Mountain State Park and Logoly State Park so individuals with mobility challenges can fully enjoy the natural beauty and trails once out of reach. While designed around mobility, it can also help someone who is visually impaired enjoy longer outdoor routes with a companion. Both parks offer this program free of charge, but require reservations. You can contact the park for more information and to make a reservation.
