The park has few accessible trails. We walked the Middle Head trail from Ingonish. It is just 2 1/4 miles, not at all wheel chair accessible and I would have thought too rough for most disabled people. However in spite of a heart condition and a bum knee, my sister carefully and slowly managed the whole loop.
We didn’t get to the 1.1 mile wheelchair accessible loop Freshwater Lake Trail at Ingonish Beach
The Bog Trail is half an hour from Cheticamp and is a short wheelchair accessible boardwalk loop. There are interpretive signs and we were there in June when the pitcher plants were in bloom. Later in the year there are bog orchids to admire.
