Exit Glacier
A wheelchair accessible trail begins on the paved trail from the parking area and leads to to an interpretive kiosk. From the kiosk a new accessible spur trail of compacted gravel travels for 1000 feet through the forest to a view of Exit Glacier. There are plans to turn this one-way trail into an accessible loop trail in summer 2007.

Visitor Centers
Kenai Fjords National Park Information Center in Seward and the Exit Glacier Nature Center are both wheelchair accessible.

Public Use Cabins
All Public Use Cabins have wheelchair accessible decks and doors. Assistance may be required to access the cabins from the beach.

Hoary Marmot  

Did You Know?
The Hoary Marmot is the largest member of the ground squirrels. These guys hibernate half or more of their life away. They have very thick fur and a substantial fat layer that protects them from the cold. You are not as likely to see them on hot days as they hide in the shade to keep cool.
