We hiked close to this area two weeks ago, and returned again today hours before a major snowstorm blanketed the east coast. This is a section of the Great Swamp which
is almost completely accessible by wheel chair. There are nearly two miles worth of sturdy boardwalks and other packed surfaces that allow someone disabled to get about a
half mile into the swamp very easily.
We did every trail in this area this morning (you can see them all on page two of this map). With backtracking (there were a few spurs) we covered almost 2 miles in just over an hour.
