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. 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. ADA compliance for handicap access is important to keep in mind during design and construction phases. ​

​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 in more populated areas, they may not be suitable or affordable for nature trails.

Construction of ADA compliant Trails or Cart Paths can be done with Enviroseal M10+50™ which is used as a soil and aggregate binder. The finished result is a solid impermeable surface that has a natural aggregate appearance and meets or exceeds ADA requirements for surface stability.

The installation process is simple and is ideal for local, state, and federal parks, golf courses, and private communities as well.

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 that will last years. Contact us today to learn more about ADA compliant trail construction.
