Fort Yargo State Park: Trackchair and Wilkins Greenway

Checked on Oct 16, 2026

Provisional guide: the park's trackchair and its paved greenway are confirmed, but the park doesn't name which individual trails the trackchair covers. Entry and parking aren't verified yet. We'll update this guide as we confirm more.

At Fort Yargo State Park, in Winder, you can explore by free all-terrain trackchair or roll the paved Wilkins Greenway. The park lists the greenway as "paved & ADA accessible"; it "follows the creek" and "ends at the park's Visitor Center" (Fort Yargo trails page, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026). The park's trail map gives it as a "2.2-mile round-trip" and says "This trail is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers" (Fort Yargo trail map, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026).

Free all-terrain trackchair: Georgia State Parks and the Aimee Copeland Foundation "provide free, high mobility all-terrain wheelchairs at several state parks," including "Fort Yargo State Park, Winder", and "Reservations are required" (Georgia State Parks trackchairs page, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026). Check-out is at the Welcome Center, 8 am to 3 pm (All-Terrain Georgia locations, [Trusted], Checked Oct 16, 2026).

  • Plan about 10 days ahead for a first visit: certification "approval takes about 7 days" and "All reservations must be made at least 72 hours in advance" (All-Terrain Georgia reservations, [Trusted], Checked Oct 16, 2026).
  • Bring a buddy: each user "must be accompanied by an individual, 18 years of age or older, in good physical condition," and both attend a virtual training and pass an exam (All-Terrain Georgia certification, [Trusted], Checked Oct 16, 2026).
  • Who qualifies: individuals "who are mobility impaired and aged 6 years of age or older," with photo ID and proof of disability for both participant and buddy (same page).

Call to confirm before you go: call the park at 770-867-3489 (Fort Yargo State Park page, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026) and ask at the Welcome Center which trails the trackchair uses. Hours and conditions can change.
