Located in upstate New York, Tupper Lake is a nice stop for nature lovers. The anchor attraction is the Wild Center, which is designed to inspire visitors to explore the great outdoors ( emerginghorizons.com/a-wheelchair-accessible-adirondack-adventure) . Access is excellent throughout the museum, which features a number of outdoor habitats and interactive exhibits that introduce visitors to Adirondack ecosystems. Outside, an accessible half-mile trail winds around Greenleaf Pond, with interpretive panels along its length. And if you want to get serious about the outdoors, then spend the night in an accessible lean-to in nearby John Dillon Park (www.paulsmiths.edu/john-dillon-park). Designed from the get-go to be barrier free, the park features trails, a fishing and kayak dock and a pontoon boat — all of which are wheelchair-accessible. Although there’s no charge to spend the night at John Dillon Park, usage is limited to disabled campers. Day-use visitors don’t need to make advance arrangements, however reservations are required for overnight stays.
