ADA Trail and Cart Path Construction

With thousands of miles of nature trails and pathways throughout the USA, there are plenty of opportunities to explore beautiful natural environments. For folks with disabilities, these options can be limited if handicapped accommodations aren’t taken into consideration. Accessibility is an important part of trail development because it ensures nature trails are available to all groups including the young, elderly and people with disabilities. Walking paths and nature trails that are constructed for recreational purposes are held to less stringent standards than road construction. While concrete and asphalt are the usual choices for handicap accessible trails, they may not be suitable or affordable. Trails are mandated by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which requires certain design standards to be in compliance with the law.

Construction of ADA compliant Trails or Cart Paths is done with Enviroseal M10+50 and the finished result is a solid impermeable surface that has a natural aggregate appearance that meets or exceeds ADA requirements for surface firmness and stability. The installation process is simple and ideal for local, state, and federal parks, golf courses, and private communities.

Enviroseal can recommend construction techniques and application guidelines specific for your project plus we can offer on-site technical assistance to ensure a proper installation. Contact us today to learn more about ADA compliant trail construction.
