Hike Description
Waypoint Adventure will be guiding an accessible hike for people with disabilities. We will be hiking the Raymond Fisher Trail at Gorges State Park. This is an out and back hike with the focal point being a tranquil pond. We will enjoy its peace as we eat a picnic lunch together, before heading back. The hike will total around 2 miles. Waypoint Adventure has a variety of off-road hiking wheelchairs to accommodate you if needed. Once registered, we will be in touch to discuss specific needs and accommodations.
