An effort to make outdoor recreation in Michigan more accessible for everyone continues to gain steam - we recently reached our funding goal of nearly a half-million dollars to purchase additional track chairs for a growing number of state parks and trails!
Track chairs are off-road, electronic chairs that can easily handle trails, snow, sand and even up to 8 inches of water, allowing users to explore areas of the parks that traditional wheelchairs might not reach.
We hope to keep adding to our fleet of track chairs! Anyone wishing to contribute can still make a donation.
The park’s track chair provides access to our park’s beach, numerous picnic sites and the Rathburg Trail. The chair is at our headquarters located at 1330 E. Greenshield Road in Lake Orion. You may leave you vehicle parked at park headquarters.

A student at Pewamo-Westphalia schools helped raise $14,500 for the track chair. After his experience with a track chair at Muskegon State Park, he was inspired to raise funds and bring one to a location closer to home.
