Accessibility at Warriors’ Path
Accessibility at Warriors’ Path
At Tennessee State Parks, we serve a variety of visitors including individuals with physical disabilities and those who may face other barriers to outdoor recreation. With a focus on accessibility, we continually strive to enhance our parks to better accommodate all visitors. Learn more about accessible features, amenities, programs, and services that Warriors’ Path State Park has to offer.
All Terrain Wheelchairs
All-terrain wheelchairs are specialized wheelchairs designed to navigate a wide range of terrains that may be encountered in outdoor environments.
These are important to park visitors because they provide individuals with mobility impairments the opportunity to access and enjoy outdoor recreation areas that might otherwise be inaccessible.
Each park with an all-terrain wheelchair offers trail experiences that can accommodate this specialized wheelchair. The chairs are free to the public and available for both children and adults. The chairs can be operated independently and offer the option of allowing caretaker control.
To help us serve our visitors better, we kindly ask that you give us advance notice if you’d like to use a wheelchair. While it is possible to request a chair upon arrival, there is a possibility that the chair may already be reserved for another guest. Advanced requests ensure the availability of wheelchairs and make your experience even more enjoyable.
Adult-Sized Changing Table
Discover comfort and convenience at Tennessee State Parks with our newly introduced adult-sized changing tables. Designed to enhance accessibility, these changing tables cater to the diverse needs of our visitors, ensuring a welcoming environment for individuals of all ages and abilities.
Located at the recreation building on Duck Island, the table at Warriors' Path State Park utilizes a remote to adjust the height of the table. This table lowers to approximately 12 inches off the ground and reaches a height of 39.5 inches when raised.
Accessible Kayak/ Canoe Launch
Paddle on Fort Patrick Henry Lake by using our accessible kayak/canoe launch located between the Marina and main boat ramp.
Create your own paddling experience with several ways to enjoy the lake.
Catch a variety of fish from your boat or the accessible fishing dock located at the launch. Several species of fish can be found in the lake, including bluegill, bass, crappie, rockfish, and catfish. The launch is open to visitors year-round.
If fishing isn't your style, take in gorgeous views as the lake glitters during sunrises and sunsets. Paddle over to Duck Island for a picnic or to take a stroll on the paved path.
Boundless Playground Area
The Boundless Playground is a perfect play area for children of all abilities. It includes several acres of accessible swings, slides, climbing equipment, playhouses, and sand play.
