Wheelchair AccessibleButtermilk Falls
Thank you to “gean” who was kind enough to write, “Buttermilk Falls  737 High St, Brandenburg, KY 40108 … is a beautiful walking trail that is well maintained along the Ohio.  Most of the 2.5 mile paved trail is shaded, has several waterfalls after heavy rains. Beautiful scenery year around.”
Review on Yelp, states that “This can be rated as an easy to very slightly moderate hike. There are two entrances, one that starts at riverfront park, and the other next to an industrial park.”    Phone: 270-422-3967 or 270-422-3626.   Website

Prairie Creek State Park

Prairie Creek State Park
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park …”protects sandy beaches and open meadows grazed by magnificent herds of Roosevelt elk. Ferns cascade down canyon walls. Lush stands of the world’s tallest living tree species, the coast redwood, stand in primeval majesty.”   The park has three scenic drives, 75 miles of hiking trails, and a 19-mile bike loop.
Many thanks to the website visitor who brought the park to my attention, sent the photos, and wrote, “… the trail I recommend most starts near the visitor center and while the trail is not paved it is kept clear and is quite doable.  When you come out at a road you can cross and go into an area where there is a very old large Redwood tree with the trail leading away from it back toward the visitor center. On this side of the road the trail is covered with fairly large broken rock which is difficult with a wheelchair. I would recommend returning on the part of the trail you were already on. Also there is at least one other accessible trail that starts near the visitor center.”
