Waterfalls that are Accessible via Wheelchair

Wheelchair Accessible Trails are generally paved or made of compressed material so that those who need mobility assistance are able to use it. Some of these paths may be a bit steep, and require assistance from fellow travelers in your group, but they will be free from most debris and obstructions as they are usually well maintained.

These trails are also usually acceptable for a child's stroller to traverse.
