Portland's Old Port with a Wheelchair or Mobility Scooter

The Old Port is Portland's historic waterfront district, full of restaurants, shops and wharves. It is also known for cobblestone streets and steep hills up from the water.

The hills

Streets climb from the waterfront toward Congress Street. Plan to stay on the flatter streets near Commercial Street, and drive or take a ride up the hill.

Cobblestones

Some streets are cobbled. A scooter with larger tires such as the Pride Victory 10 LX HD scooter rides more smoothly than a small travel scooter. In a chair, large rear wheels help.

A flatter route

Start on Commercial Street along the water, where the ground is the most level. The wharves have restaurants and views of fishing boats and ferries. Side streets heading uphill are the steepest, so pick one or two shops up there and drive to them if needed.

Parking

Garages near the waterfront have accessible spaces near elevators. Street parking is metered and often full in summer.

Islands and ferries

Ferries to the Casco Bay islands leave from the waterfront. Ask the ferry line about accessible boarding if you are thinking of a trip.
