Accessibility Info

  • Wheelchair Access

To accommodate wheelchairs, the mile-long Edna Strube Chiboucas Special Use Trail is five-to-seven feet wide and paved with finely crushed rock. It circles through the sanctuary's 155 acres, following an easy grade through the woods, along the edge of a meadow and over several streams and swamps. Interpretive signs stand at intervals, and there are numerous benches along the trail for sitting.
