Exit Glacier
A wheelchair accessible trail begins on the paved trail from the parking area and leads to to an interpretive kiosk. From the kiosk a new accessible spur trail of compacted gravel travels for 1000 feet through the forest to a view of Exit Glacier. There are plans to turn this one-way trail into an accessible loop trail in summer 2007.

Visitor Centers
Kenai Fjords National Park Information Center in Seward and the Exit Glacier Nature Center are both wheelchair accessible.

Public Use Cabins
All Public Use Cabins have wheelchair accessible decks and doors. Assistance may be required to access the cabins from the beach.

River Otter  

Did You Know?
River otters defecate in certain spots to mark their territory. Researchers in Kenai Fjords National Park have discovered that these "latrine sites" enrich the soil, allowing plants to grow in those spots that aren't found anywhere else close by.
