A Work in Progress: Accessible Trails, Campsites, and Other Outdoor Recreation Areas.
McGovern, John N.
Taproot, v13 n1 p22-27 Sum 2001
Appointed by the U.S. Access Board, the Recreation Access Advisory Committee developed guidelines for making outdoor recreation facilities and areas accessible to persons with disabilities. Following negative public comment, a regulatory negotiation committee conducted public meetings and devised accessibility guidelines for trails that allowed for environmental concerns, as well as guidelines for beaches, picnic areas, and camping facilities.
