Park Accessibility

Several facilities and many park programs are accessible to visitors with disabilities. The rugged Ozark terrain limits the park staff from making all campsites and trails accessible, however, access is provided wherever possible. Wheelchairs are accommodated on most accessible trails with some assistance necessary.

Lost Valley has a new wheelchair accessible bridge over Clark Creek, providing access to an accessible campsite and a portion of the Lost Valley trail. An additional accessible campsite is also available in the area. Erbie Campground offers accessible campsites in an open field setting. The nearby Ponds Trail and the Koen Interpretive Trail (U.S. Forest Service) are accessible.

The Tyler Bend complex is the newest and most accessible developed area in the park. A visitor center, select campsites, showers, and an outdoor amphitheater are all wheelchair accessible. A 1/4 mile wheelchair accessible trail to the Collier Homestead and a river overlook are not too far away. Buffalo Point has RV campsites with convenient electrical hookups and water at each site.

Buffalo Point also offers accessible showers. A brochure listing all accessible park sites is available at park information stations. For more information, call or write to park headquarters.
