Accessible Facilities

A Park for Everyone

Olympic National Park is working to offer a wide range of facilities and experiences for all visitors. While many of the facilities listed below are not fully ADA/ABA accessible, efforts are ongoing to address remaining issues. Accessible with assistance trails do not meet ADA/ABA standards, but may be passable by those with sufficient upper body strength or a friend to help.
