Squam Lakes Natural Science Center with Limited Mobility

The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness has a trail through the woods with live animal exhibits of New Hampshire wildlife. It is a favorite with families and grandparents.

Trail conditions

Woodland trails can have slopes and natural surfaces. Contact the center ahead to ask about the accessible route and whether they have wheelchairs or carts available.

Equipment

A standard wheelchair with large rear wheels does better on packed paths than a transport chair. A scooter with larger tires like the Pride Victory 10 LX HD scooter can help on mild slopes.

Combine it with

A drive around Meredith for lunch by the lake.

Plan for a shorter loop

Instead of trying to see everything, choose the exhibits closest to the entrance and come back if energy allows. Wildlife exhibits are about watching, so a seated visitor does not miss much. A rollator walker is good for someone who likes to stand up at each enclosure, then sit while the animals do their thing.

Kids and grandparents

This is a classic stop for families with young children. Grandparents in a chair can stay at the pace of a toddler, which often works out perfectly. Bring snacks, water and bug spray in summer.
