Accessibility at Arkansas Parks
Our federal and state parks and museums are leading the way in providing accessible activities, programs and facilities for visitors with disabilities. Many Arkansas state parks have remodeled and retrofitted historic structures and older park facilities to provide barrier-free access. All new, public park facilities such as visitor centers, pavilions, playgrounds, fishing piers, scenic overlooks, restrooms and bathhouses are accessible. Also, selected campsites in every park campground are designed for persons with disabilities, and nine parks offer barrier-free rental cabins as well. The four state parks lodges include accessible guest rooms, and many trails leading through forests and archeological sites are barrier-free. Find these facilities listed on the Arkansas State Park Web site, www.ArkansasStateParks.com, or call 1-888-AT-PARKS for a brochure detailing accessible park facilities. In this guide, accessibility levels for a wide variety of park facilities are noted as accessible, reasonably accessible or inaccessible.
Arkansas's federal and state parks are dedicated to meeting the needs of persons with disabilities. Come explore and experience The Natural State's diversity of scenic, recreational, cultural and historic parks.
