Track Chair Program

Accessible Trails in Sleeping Bear Dunes

Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes values the right of every visitor to experience our Park’s natural beauty. To provide an opportunity to visitors who need hiking assistance to explore designated trails in the Park, Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes offers the use of the track chair. This personal mobility device is a track wheelchair that enables access to gorgeous park features, including views of Lake Michigan, pastoral historic farmlands, forest trails, and meadows without harming the trail or adjacent land.

Currently, the Track Chair Program operates on the Bay View Trail. Located in the Port Oneida Historic District, the trail overlooks historic barns, fields, forests, and Sleeping Bear Bay. This trail is wide with gradual hills to allow for the track chair to reach the lookout point for sweeping views.
