Fontainebleau State Park now has an all-terrain track wheelchair available for use by visitors with limited mobility.
The special design of the all-terrain, electric-powered chair provides the user with the ability to navigate trails and areas of the park not suitable for conventional wheelchairs.
Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and the Louisiana Office of State Parks say they are committed to providing limited-mobility visitors the freedom to explore nature at state parks without limitation.
There is no fee to use the chair, but it must be reserved 48 hours in advance.
Louisiana State Parks plans to add all-terrain chairs in parks throughout the Louisiana park system through state funding or private donations.
To reserve the Fontainebleau State Park all-terrain chair, go to www.lastateparks.com/all-terrain-chair or call the park at 1-888-677-3668.
