An all-terrain wheelchair is coming to Warren Dunes State Park this summer.
Warren Dunes will be the 14th Michigan State Park with at least one of these chairs. Triangular wheels on a tank-like tread keep the chair stable over tree roots and through sand, making state park trails and beaches accessible to everyone. Michelle O'Kelly is with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
"This is something that we want to get in as many state parks as we can," she says. "We've had just a ton of support and outpouring of people that want to be able to use them."
The chairs are free to use with a reservation. O'Kelly says the Warren Dunes chair will arrive in August.
