Access considerations: 

Distance and trail: On this two-hour out-and-back stroll, we will travel between 0.75 and 1 mile, depending on the pace of our group. From the Museum Experience Center, we will stroll down a 0.10 mile paved hill, then join the paved, flat, 10-foot-wide Prairie Trail. We will follow this partly-shaded trail for 0.20 miles. We will then journey along the shaded, 5-foot-wide crushed-gravel Vista Trail. Benches are available along the route at the bottom of the hill and at 0.2 miles.

Please note: This is a rain or shine program; please dress accordingly and bring comfort items as needed (i.e. sunblock, hat, water).

Access: Restrooms are available in the Museum Experience Center and include accessible stalls. Please reach out to our Nature Engagement Specialist at morton@connerprairie.org if you would like to share or discuss ways we can support your access needs for this program.
