Oconee State Park



This summer, we are partnering with Oconee State Park in Mountain Rest, SC start date TBD to provide individuals with mobility impairments the ability to have independent access to our beautiful state park!


IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS:


Reservations for trackchairs are a first come, first served basis. Just because the chair is there, doesn't mean someone doesn't already have it reserved for the day. Also, even if a reservation is made a head of time, your trackchair reservation doesn't grant you access to the park. Parks can sometimes stop allowing additional cars into the park during peak seasons if the park traffic is too high. Because of this, make sure you arrive early in the day if possible to ensure you can gain entry to the park, especially if you have reserved the trackchair ahead of time.


Step 1: Watch the following video!


The following video gives an in depth tutorial on how to operate one of our chairs as well as troubleshoot any common issues that may arise. Please watch the entire video!

Step 2: Understand the following rules


1. Track chairs have a rougher ride than regular powered wheel chairs. Do not operate if a rough ride may be detrimental to your personal health.

2. The seat belt MUST be worn at ALL times that the trackchair is in motion

3. You are responsible for any damage you may cause to yourself, someone else, the track chair or any state park property.

4. Please be respectful with this chair. It is a free service provided by us to those with mobility impairments. If you tear up the equipment being reckless, this service will cease to exist.

5. Use of this chair should be restricted to areas inside of Huntington Beach State Park ONLY.

6. This chair is only to be used on designated trails and sidewalks. The only off-roading can be done on the beach, but keep it out of the sand dunes.

7. Monitor the battery level closely to ensure you don't get yourself stranded.

8. This chair is reserved for use on a first come first served basis. We also take reservations, so even if the chair is here, it may still be unavailable.

9. Avoid getting the chair in the water. Puddles and things are fine, but please do not take our chair for a swim in the ocean :)


Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!! Enjoy having your mobility back!

Step 3: Check availability and reserve your chair!
