A Park Ranger helps a visitor with limited mobility to comfortably access the site

The walk from the visitor parking lot to the home is 1/3 mile and gains 100 feet in elevation. This can be challenging for many visitors. If you feel this climb may be a challenge for you, please call a park ranger from either of two phones located near the visitor entrance. One phone is near the accessible parking spaces in the parking lot. The second phone is located on the wall outside of the restroom facilities near the lake.  The ranger will provide assistance with your visit.
