I have had numerous requests for a list of handicap-accessible trails across New York. I feel passionately about everyone enjoying the beauty of nature and the great outdoors. So, I got right to work and became a research ninja, and I have attempted to track down as many trails as possible for you. Please be warned, I haven’t visited all of these personally, so I can’t give you a real description, only a name, link, and location.
