INDIANA -- The Indiana Department of Natural Resources announced visitors to Indiana State Paks with limited mobility will have track chairs to help them to explore trails throughout the parks. 

“Nature is for everyone, and that includes the ability to enjoy the scenic trails at Indiana State Parks,” said Governor Mike Braun. “By making at least one-track chair available at every state park, we’re opening miles of trail to explore to more people statewide and positioning Indiana as a national leader for accessibility at our state parks.” 

A track chair is an all-terrain, electric-powered wheelchair that helps people with limited mobility safely explore off-road environments.

The 45 track chairs were made possible by $1 million in funding from Lilly Endowment Inc. 

The track chairs will be distributed statewide for use at each Indiana State Park and Indiana State Park Inn.

The new chairs supplement the 13 powered mobility chairs that are currently available at Indiana State Parks.
