All-terrain track wheelchairs are now available at at eight Louisiana State Park locations, including Jimmie Davis State Park, located on Caney Lake in Jackson Parish. These specially-designed chairs allow everyone the ability to experience the beauty of Louisiana state parks.

Specially designed for the outdoors, the all-terrain, electric-powered chairs provide users with the ability to navigate trails and areas of the park not suitable for conventional wheelchairs. Louisiana State Parks acquired the first chair this June and recently added seven more to its inventory.

“We are thrilled to offer access to all-terrain track chairs at not just one state park but now at eight Louisiana State Park locations. These specially-designed all-terrain chairs can really open up a world of new experiences for people with limited mobility,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser.

There is no fee to use the chairs. Chairs must be reserved 48 hours in advance. Users must complete a user agreement and liability waiver form as well as a short in-person training in order to check out the all-terrain chairs.
