DNR Champions Numerous Efforts to Help Make the Outdoors Inclusive

The DNR’s efforts to make Michigan’s public lands accessible to people of all abilities is about more than providing access to nature – it’s affirming that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves the opportunity to experience the beauty and peace of our great outdoors.

From accessible walkways to the waterfront, user-friendly kayak launches, color blind scenic viewers at overlooks, accessible fishing piers, accessible hunting blinds and motorized track chairs for trail exploration to accessible accommodations including mini cabins, camper cabins, lodges and yurts, an increasing number of Michigan state parks offer inclusive ways for visitors to enjoy the outdoors.
