An automobile or bicycle are needed to get to Herbert Hoover National Historic Site from out of town, but the park's most-visited features are all within a half-mile walk from each parking lot. When you arrive, get a free park map and guide at the Visitor Center.
Herbert Hoover National Historic Site has numerous paved sidewalks, wooden boardwalks, gravel paths, and grass trails for walking. The historic nature of the site may make visiting difficult for people with disabilities. Most of the ground around the historic buildings is level. The wooden boardwalks may be slippery when wet, so please watch your step. If you plan to tour the historic buildings, it is advised to bring someone to assist you. A wheelchair may be available for loan from the Visitor Center or the Presidential Library and Museum.
Bicycle riding is permitted on all paved streets and parking lots in the park, and on the asphalt walkway leading from the core historic area to the loop road only. Bicycle riding is not permitted on boardwalks or sidewalks. The Visitor Center parking lot has a bicycle rack.
