There are also short trails (under one mile) at Drewry's Bluff, Fort Brady, Parker's Battery and Fort Harrison. Trails within forts Harrison and Brady at the Fort Harrison unit are paved and fully wheelchair accessible. Please see "Outdoor Activities" tab for more information.


Pets are not allowed inside the park visitor centers; service animals are the only exception.
