Portland Head Light and Fort Williams Park with Limited Mobility
Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth is often called the most photographed lighthouse in Maine. It sits in Fort Williams Park, a large park with paved paths, lawns and ocean views.
Getting to the view
There is parking near the lighthouse, and paved paths lead to viewpoints. A Pride GoGo travel scooter or standard wheelchair handles the paths. Some paths slope, so take it slow.
Tips
- Go early for easier parking.
- Check the park's website for parking fees and seasons.
- It is windy on the point.

Around the park
Fort Williams has more to see than the lighthouse: the ruins of the old fort, open lawns and spots for a picnic. The lawns are fine for a standard wheelchair with a companion, but soft after rain. The paved paths are the reliable route.
Food trucks and facilities
In season there are often food trucks near the lighthouse. Check the park website for restroom locations before you go.
