Accessibility
The blue trail can be wheelchair accessible in good weather, however as it is a dirt path we cannot guarantee wheelchair accessibility following poor weather. The route is relatively flat with no steep portions and the hides are wheelchair accessible. The café and lower floor of the Centre are wheelchair accessible, including an accessible toilet at the front of the building. Please contact them before the event if you would like to discuss your specific needs.
