Hike Description

Waypoint Adventure will be guiding an accessible hike for people with disabilities. We will be meeting at the Lake James State Park Visitor Center and we will be hiking the Fonta Flora State Trail. This is an out and back hike, approximately 2 miles. We are hiking a portion of the trail, not the whole thing. 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.
