Narrative

The Department of Conservation and Recreation's Universal Access Program is dedicated to providing outdoor recreation opportunities in Massachusetts State Parks for visitors of all abilities.

Accessibility to our State Parks is achieved through site improvements, specialized adaptive recreation equipment, and accessible recreation programs.

Many programs offered at no charge, others are at a small fee. In the summer we offer accessible kayaking, sailing, rowing, canoeing, cycling, hiking, horseback riding, interpretive nature programs and events. In the winter we offer accessible snowmobiling, ice-skating, sit skating, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, kick sledding, interpretive programs and events.
