  1. #US - #Wheelchair #AccessibleTrails

    Explore wheelchair accessible trails on #TrailLink.

    "Use our comprehensive trail guides with descriptions, photos, and reviews to plan your next wheelchair accessible trail adventure.

    Here you'll find long-distance trails in both remote regions of the West and in populated parts of the East and Midwest.

    Many routes listed on TrailLink are wheelchair accessible trails, providing not only recreation but safe pathways for wheelchair users and others with special mobility needs. While standards for #ADACompliance on wheelchair trails are not uniform, many trail management groups do make wheelchair accessibility a priority. Our criteria for trail accessibility consider the trail's grade, surface, and width as well as its access points.

    Routes noted as wheelchair trails on this website generally have an asphalt or concrete surface, although some crushed limestone trails are also suitable for wheelchairs. We try to note convenient access points and accessible parking facilities. However, not all trails marked as wheelchair friendly are accessible throughout the entire trail's length. When in doubt, check the links provided with a particular trail (under "Related Content" on the trail description page) to see if it truly is a wheelchair accessible trail.

    The trail description on TrailLink should indicate where sections are not wheelchair accessible, but again, some don't simply because we may not have that information. We do rely on local trail users, so let us know the details if you encounter useful information—or misinformation!

    All trails listed on TrailLink are multiuse, so keep in mind the common right-of-way rules of thumb, unless otherwise posted on the trail: wheelchair users yield to horses.

    Explore wheelchair trails and wheelchair trail maps on TrailLink and use our comprehensive trail guides with descriptions, photos, and reviews to plan your next outdoor adventure. Use our filter search feature to find accessible trails that meet your needs and tastes.

    Though we try to provide the most up-to-date information wheelchair accessible trails, we don't always get it right. If you find any errors on TrailLink, please let us know by clicking on the "edit this trail" link and giving us updates; include as many details as possible.

    Also, you can help your fellow wheelchair trail users by posting a review of the trail and noting accessibility details that will prove useful for their journey."

  2. I'm proud to announce the launch of Blind Productions.
    Blind Productions is a showcase and community I built to celebrate blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, and content creators — and to give us one place to discover each other's work, collaborate, and connect.
    Here's the honest part: this is the ground floor. The doors are open, the foundation is built, and now it's time to fill it up. I'm inviting you to help shape what this becomes — a living archive that future generations can search to discover the musicians and creators who came before them, and a moderated space where we create, support one another, and network as a community.
    What's here today:
    • A searchable directory of blind creatives, each profile with a bio, links to their work, audio to listen to, and video to watch.
    • A moderated community forum for collaboration, support, opportunities, and networking.
    • Accessibility built in from the ground up — screen-reader friendly, fully keyboard operable, with adjustable text, themes, and high contrast on every page.
    So here's my ask: start submitting profile suggestions. Nominate yourself. Nominate the artists you admire. Bring the people who deserve to be found. Create a free account, join the conversation, and let's build something that lasts.
    This is how a legacy gets started — together.
    Explore and submit: blind.productions
    You must be 18 or older to join.
