Maine is a wonderland for outdoor recreation—for hiking, biking, paddling, fishing, surfing and more. But not all of it is accessible to those living with disabilities. What changes are needed to make trails more usable by those of all abilities? We’ll learn what organizations, equipment and resources are helping to make Maine’s outdoor assets accessible to those with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities.
