Looking for accessible hiking trails and walking paths in Lake George? Check out our top picks for trails that are ideal for wheelchair users, strollers, or those with limited mobility.
Warren County Bikeway
The vast majority of the Warren County Bikeway is paved and for non-motor vehicle use. The trail does intersect with local roads, sharing the shoulder, when a separate trail was not possible.
The 9.4-mile multi-use trail begins in Lake George Battlefield State Park and ends on Platt Street in Glens Falls. Users of the path can enjoy historical signage along the way, and there are plenty of scenic spots to stop.
Bonus Suggestion: Feeder Canal Trail
The other main pathway in the region is the 9-mile Feeder Canal Trail, much of which can be used by wheelchair or stroller users. Just be aware that much of is not paved but finished with gravel.
The Feeder Canal Trail starts at the Feeder Canal Park in Queensbury, goes through Hudson Falls, and ends near Mullen Park in Fort Edward.
Lake George Battlefield State Park
Lake George Battlefield State Park, where the Warren County Bikeway begins, has paved walking paths if you don't mind a little bit of elevation.
Visitors can enjoy historical signage - maybe even embark on the self-guided Colonial Wars Historical Walking Tour - along with great views of the lake.
Meadowbrook Nature Preserve
Certain trails within the 44-acre Meadowbrook Nature Preserve in Queensbury are accessible, and there's an accessible platform at the entrance. This is a great, easy hike for kids, who will enjoy the informational signage throughout.
Note, the blue trails, which go outside the forested part of the preserve, can get wet and muddy, and are not ideal for wheelchairs or strollers.
Hovey Pond Park
Hovey Pond Park has a lovely walking path that circles Hovey Pond and includes an accessible fishing platform.
Make your way over to the wetlands, which has an accessible path and informational signage about plants and wildlife. This park even has an accessible playground!
Crandall Park
Many of the walking paths through Crandall Park are accessible, although can get narrow in certain spots near Crandall Pond. Just note, there is a disc golf course, so look out for signage so you can avoid flying frisbees!
If you check out this map from Mypacer.com you can see that many opt to walk around the entire park, which adds up to about 1.5 miles.
Bonus Suggestion: Cole's Woods
Cole's Woods, just outside of Crandall Park, has a 1.8-mile loop that is fairly flat and considered an easy hike.
Although it can get muddy, and is narrow in spots, it's worth exploring with a wheelchair or stroller.
The Sembrich
Did you expect to see Bolton Landing's famous opera house on the list? The Sembrich is not only a historical house and museum, but a nature preserve.
The main trail is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, and brings you to a scenic viewpoint.
