MARINETTE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Marinette County is bringing an adaptive hiking event to Thunder Mountain Overlook, northwest of Crivitz.
The Marinette County Aging and Disability Center and the Marinette County Parks Department are collaborating to host Wheel Hike Together Oct. 4 through 9.
Participants will be able to reserve Access Ability Wisconsin’s all-terrain outdoor wheelchairs to explore the park’s trails and overlook.
The battery-powered chairs operate on a track system instead of wheels, which allows them to go places traditional wheelchairs might not be able to go.
There is no cost to reserve one of the chairs, but the regular five dollar park entry fee does still apply.
Registration is available on a first-come-first-serve basis online.
