LAKE WENATCHEE, Wash. — Lake Wentatchee State Park is helping visitors with limited mobility reach its sandy shores.
According to Washington State Parks, it recently acquired a fixed-frame beach wheelchair.
The large tires are designed to handle shifting sand and uneven surfaces.
The chair isn’t motorized, so beachgoers will need a companion to help them push it.
It is free to use, but visitors are asked to reserve it in advance by calling the park office: 509-763-3101.
The park says it also installed an ADA-compliant beach mat to provide even more beach access and picnic opportunities on a stable surface.
