ATLANTA — As March, which is Disability Awareness Month, approaches, Georgia’s State Parks & Historic Sites are spotlighting an often-overlooked aspect of the venues, which have been transformed into some great, accessible-friendly destinations for visitors of all abilities.
With the recent addition of the use of All-Terrain Wheelchairs at 11 state parks and a wildlife center last year, Georgia’s State Parks also provide a number of additional offerings to make it easier for those with disabilities to get outdoors and reconnect with nature and history, explore nature trails, go fishing and attend adaptive hunts.
